A potential shooting at the Turnberry Towers condominium in Las Vegas was thwarted Friday when an armed employee wounded the attacker before he could open fire on anyone.
Video of the event on Twitter shows the alleged shooter, wearing a helmet and carrying what witnesses said was an AR-15, shooting through a set of glass double doors before apparently being shot himself and falling to the ground.

“Some guy had an altercation with someone else in the valet area, went back to his car in the parking garage and got a gun. Shot up the whole front of our building. All the glass is shot out at valet. Our receiving guy was armed and shot the guy,” the resident said.
Worst active shooter ever.
