Explosion in front of Trump's hotel: What's behind the desperate call?

In a dramatic incident in Las Vegas, a former soldier set fire to his Tesla cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel and caused it to explode after shooting himself. The 37-year-old L., a member of the elite Green Berets unit, left two letters in which he expressed his dissatisfaction with the US government under the current leadership. “This was not a terrorist attack, this was a wake-up call,” said Sheriff Kevin McMahill. Despite the serious explosion that left several people injured, investigators indicated that L. had no connection to terrorist groups and no criminal history. This frightening event raises the question of why L. struck in front of this hotel. There is no evidence of political hatred against Donald Trump, such as vienna.at reported.

Former sheriff involved in murder case

Meanwhile, a former Kentucky sheriff, Shawn "Mickey" Stines, finds himself at the center of a tragic murder charge. Stines is accused of shooting District Judge Kevin Mullins in a courthouse on Sept. 19. His attorney argued that Stines was suffering from "extreme emotional distress" at the time and therefore the charge was manslaughter rather than murder. Stines has also faced a lawsuit in the past accusing him of failing to properly train his officers. The incident occurred after lunch, during which witnesses said tensions arose. When they returned to the courthouse, Stines, who was trying to call his daughter, suddenly grabbed a gun. The tragic details surrounding this incident were revealed by Newsweek further examined, with Stines' behavior during an earlier interview being described as unusual.
