Las Vegas attempted murder caught on video: Homeowner narrowly escapes being shot after suspect's gun jams

[FOX] The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is seeking help to identify an attempted murder suspect who was recorded on a garage security camera pulling out a gun and trying to shoot a man after a botched robbery in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday.

Authorities said the unidentified suspect approached the victim’s vehicle as he was parking in a garage and demanded his belongings. The victim then ran across the street, and the suspect followed closely behind, ultimately pulling out a gun and pointing it at the victim.

The homeowner narrowly escapes being shot after the suspect's gun failed to fire, police said.

Las Vegas police said the suspect then entered a nearby vehicle and fled.

#2 Black on White attempted armed robbery, and then the suspect goes full idiot and in frustration, attempts to murder the victim, but fails to get his weapon to function, and then runs off to his vehicle and flees the scene. What is shocking is this is a typical middle class LV suburban neighborhood.

This would have been 25 years ago, but there were a group of feral youts who were preying on customers, and the owners contacted said youts to see what could be done.

The youts demanded to talk to 'the man'.

Accordingly, some gentlemen from Back East came out and met the leaders of the youts some distance out of town. The youts made their demands, and the gentlemen from back east replied...kinetically.

The two survivors had their legs broken and were told that since it was such a lovely night, they could walk back. That was, until recently, the last serious problems I'd heard of there.
