Authorities confronted Matthew Glunt in the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino’s garage at about 11pm on Thursday. Video footage shows that he proceeded to fire rounds at them with a handgun. After a taser proved unsuccessful in stopping the assailant, the officers shot the 48-year-old with live rounds.

The Metropolitan Police Department has been investigating a recent string of commercial robberies across Las Vegas. In each incident, the robber would demand money by passing a note to employees of various businesses. Identifying Glunt as the suspect, authorities managed to track him down to the parking lot where the incident took place.

Glunt now faces numerous charges, including three counts of robbery and three counts of attempted murder of a police officer. Talking to LVRJ, Glunt’s mother said she was shocked that her son was involved but that he has told her of his suicidal state. Glunt reportedly is in a stable condition following the shooting.
