LAPD Stops Potential Mass Casualty Shooting in Hollywood, Man in High-Rise Had Rifles Pointed Down at Park
|
[RedState] The Los Angeles Police Department stopped a potential Las Vegas-style mass shooting Wednesday night in Hollywood as they arrested a man with a cache of weapons in his 18th floor apartment. Some of the guns were pointed down at a popular park, and the 25-year-old suspect was reportedly acting strange and making threats. (Note: some outlets are reporting that he’s 24.)
The possible attack was thwarted by security guards and neighbors at the high-rise who reported to the LAPD that a resident was possibly suffering from a mental health crisis. The man, now identified as Braxton Kyle Johnson, who one neighbor said had talked about his military background and believed the CIA was after him,

was placed under arrest after police entered the apartment with a search warrant and found a sniper rifle, two high-powered rifles, a shotgun, three pistols, extensive body armor and thousands of rounds of ammo.
The LA Times reports that “one rifle with a scope was mounted on a small tripod, similar to the ones used by hunters — or military snipers.”
All the guns were unregistered.
Johnson had recently moved into the Lumina Hollywood, a luxury apartment complex in the 1500 block of Gordon Street near Sunset Boulevard, from out of town.
Johnson’s bail has been set at $500,000. It’s not his first brush with the law—early reports indicate that he has an unspecified criminal history in at least one other state.
