A hero cop shot dead a gunman after his rifle malfunctioned as he tried to carry out a mass killing in a Las Vegas gym he regularly attended.
Daniel Ortega, a 34-year-old member of the Las Vegas Athletic Club, killed one person and wounded three more when he opened fire inside the gym on Friday afternoon, according to police.
The victim was identified as Edgar Quinonez, a 31-year-old who worked at the gym for 15 years.
Assistant Sheriff Jamie Prosser of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said that Ortega approached an employee at the front desk and paced around before exchanging brief words with another worker. He then fired at the first employee, who fled into the gym.
“The suspect followed the employee deeper into the business and continued to fire rounds,” Prosser said.
Ortega fired a total of 24 rounds before three responding officers shot him six times, killing him.
