An unidentified “device” left on top of a car in the Luxor Hotel parking garage detonated at around 4:00 a.m. this morning. It is being reported that the employee that picked the explosive up died at a local hospital while another employee narrowly escaped.
A device left atop a car in a Las Vegas casino parking garage exploded early Monday, killing a hotel employee who picked it up, authorities said.
When the employee went to remove the object, the explosive went off, reports CBS station KLAS-TV. The unidentified employee was taken to an area hospital where he died.
Another hotel employee narrowly escaped injury when the device exploded.
The incident occurred after 4 a.m. on the second floor of a parking barrage behind the Luxor hotel-casino, said Officer Bill Cassell, a police spokesman. He declined to describe the device, but said initial reports that it was a backpack were wrong.
