Las Vegas Gunman Upset Over Social Security Benefits
A gunman upset over losing his Social Security benefits case, opened fire in the lobby of a federal building in downtown Las Vegas on Monday, killing a court officer and wounding a deputy U.S. marshal before he was shot to death.
Two officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, because they were not authorized to discuss the case, identified the shooter as Johnny Lee Wicks to the Associated Press.
While an investigation is under way, the officials say the early evidence points to the man's anger over his benefits as motive for the shooting.
Court records shoe Wicks sued the Social security Administration in 2008, but the case was thrown out and formally closed in September 2009.
