LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former Las Vegas trade show worker who pleading guilty to stealing three machine guns and more than 60 other firearms at the U.S. gun industry’s biggest annual convention in January has been sentenced to two years in federal prison.

U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware II also ordered 27-year-old Jamikko Foster Thursday to complete 1,000 hours of community service and two years’ probation following his release.

Foster admitted he stole silencers, handguns, rifles, machine guns and dozens of suppressors while he was working in Las Vegas at the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s 2019 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade show known as the “SHOT” show.

Federal agents recovered all but two of the 65 stolen weapons during a search of Foster’s residence in February.

A co-defendant, 28-year-old Eduardo Limon, also pleaded guilty. He’s scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 24... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A new thought-provoking PSA hopes to send a message while combating school shootings. The PSA was created by Sandy Hook Promise, the nonprofit group formed after the deadly 2012 school shooting.

The mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, left 20 students and six adults dead.

The newly released PSA begins with a smiling teen boy, opening his locker to grab his backpack. But it ends with a young girl, in tears, texting a goodbye to her mother as a door opens and footsteps approach the stall where she is hiding and crying... Read More

NEW
YORK, NY (CBS) — The CDC says the number of cases of vaping related sickness has
risen to 530, and 8 people have died. This comes as the Food and Drug
Administration announces its own investigation into the illnesses.

The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects those numbers to rise.

“We
don’t have a single substance product additive or brand that is identified in
all of the cases,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat — CDC Deputy Director.

While
officials can’t pinpoint the exact cause of the illnesses, most patients
reported using e-cigarette products containing THC – the psycho-active
ingredient in marijuana. Three-fourths of the cases are male, and two-thirds
are between the ages of 18 and 34.

“Until
we know more as this investigation is on-going, if you have health concerns, we
recommend you considering not vaping and not using e-cigarettes,” Schuchat
said. ... Read More

LAS VEGAS (CNN) — One fast food chain wants you to order in Thursday night, and to encourage you, it’s giving away plenty of McSwag. McDonald’s is teaming up with Uber Eats for its McDelivery night promotion.

Ronald and friends are hoping you’ll forget about that delivery fee by giving away branded apparel that includes socks, slippers, and sweatpants. Your order could also include ear buds, playing cards or even a giant blanket resembling a sesame seed bun with a hood.

The golden arches is being mum on how it will determine exactly
what you receive, but we do know this: You have to order $10 worth of food, it
has to be after 5 pm Thursday night and it’s only while supplies last at
participating locations.

The chain says restaurants in 50 countries and six continents are taking part. We can only assume Antarctica is the excluded land mass. ... Read More
