LAS VEGAS AP – Nearly four months after a judge dismissed his lawsuit over Social Security benefits, 66-year-old Johnny Lee Wicks opened fire with a shotgun in a Las Vegas federal building, killing one security guard and wounding a U.S. marshal before being shot to death, authorities said.
Preliminary evidence pointed to Wicks’ anger over his benefits case as the motive for the shooting, law enforcement officials told The Associated Press Monday, though authorities are continuing to investigate. The two officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.
