Stan was glad to get back to work after the holidays. He was ready for another day of pointing people toward the correct room, for court hearings, business with the Senators' offices or jury duty.
Nick was in category three, but still two minutes away when Johnny got to the lobby first... Bearing a grudge, and a gun.
The firefight left both Stan and Johnny dead, and a US marshal hospitalized but expected to live.
It seems that Johnny had lost an argument with Social Security about a claim in 2008, a court case claiming racial discrimination in 2009 and finally his life on the first workday of 2010... Dying from his wounds not far from the traffic light where Nick's cell phone camera finished recording what sounded like more than 30 shots.
Stan's body left the scene in the company of brother officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department he had served for 26 years before retirement... The last 15 years he'd spent at the courthouse, thinking his days in danger were a thing of the past.
Built after Oklahoma City, the courthouse with its distinctive front sunshade was belived to be an extremely safe facility... And it was, until one man with murder in mind showed up Monday morning.
