Man Opens Fire in Penthouse Las Vegas After Being Kicked Out
Friday, June 6th, 2008
A man opened fire earlier today at the Penthouse Gentlemen’s Club in Las Vegas after bouncers tried to kick him out for his inappropriate behavior.
According to sources in the club the man wanted to take home one of the dancers following a 45 minuted-long lap dance and when he was told that he couldn’t do so he got a bit ‘too aggressive.’
“He wanted to take me home,” said the dancer to a local TV crew. “He wanted me to be with him and I was like — this is crazy. I’m just an entertainer. I only work here. It was crazy,” she added.
That’s when she says the bouncers stepped in.
“I went to go check out and the bouncers had the guy on the floor. He was trying to come after me,” she said.
The next thing you know “there was a total of like 7, 8, 9 shots, and I ran to the back and tried to get as many walls in between me and the gunshots as possible.”
“It was like a dream and everything is going really fast but it feels like you are going in slow motion. I was crawling to the dressing room as fast as I could,” said the entertainer. Luckily no one was hurt and the man took off.
Following a pursuit and a long standoff with a SWAT team the man got shot and killed not before he shot a policeman in the leg.
