Checked in to the hotel on post the night before my reserve drill and came upon this when I got online. I imagine you're already tracking on it. It will be interesting to see how the assailant's story matches with the son's and whatever physical evidence the police have gathered.
The
teenage neighbor arrested in what has been described as the road-rage
slaying of a Las Vegas mother boasted about the shooting and told
friends that he emptied several clips from his semi-automatic handgun
during the gunbattle, according to a police report released Friday.
The
documents depict a fierce shootout last week involving 19-year-old
Erich Milton Nowsch Jr., victim Tammy Meyers and her 22-year-old son.
Police
said Nowsch bragged of firing more than 22 shots at them that night —
first, a few blocks from their home, then in the cul-de-sac outside
their house.
According
to investigators, Nowsch portrayed the Meyers family as the aggressors,
saying he saw someone in their car waving a gun out the window at him.
"Got those kids. They were after me, and I got them," he was quoted as telling friends.
Nowsch
remained jailed Friday on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and
firing a gun from a vehicle. It was not clear if he had a lawyer.
Authorities continued to search for a second suspect, apparently the driver of the car in which Nowsch was said to be riding.
