All over the news here in Vegas all day. Guy who lost a lawsuit earlier this year over Social Security benefit cuts went into the Federal Courthouse and opened fire killing a former cop and injuring a deputy U.S. marshal. At least 50 shots fired between him and police as he crossed Las Vegas Blvd. before being killed.

A man who opened fire at a court in Las Vegas – killing one man and wounding another – had been upset about cuts to his social security benefits.

Officials said Johnny Lee Wicks, 66, was killed in a shootout with officers soon after 8am (local time) on Monday.

Court records show Wicks sued the Social Security Administration in 2008 but the case was thrown out and formally closed in September 2009.

Watching the local news at 6pm, many people they’ve interviewed say this sort of thing may happen more in the future around the country as Social Security benefits are cut.
