Security Officer in Clark County Recognized for Saving Lives During Red Rock Stabbing Emergency
Security Officer Hailed as Hero After Red Rock Casino Incident
In a ceremony held at the Clark County Commission headquarters on Tuesday, Jefferson Hrusovsky, an eight-year Marine and security officer at the Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa, was honoured for his actions during a recent incident at the property.
The incident began when a guest, later identified as Shayne Sussmen, verbally berated casino workers. The situation escalated, resulting in Sussmen stabbing two employees.
Hrusovsky, who was on duty, intervened and non-fatally shot Sussmen. His quick thinking and bravery prevented further harm or loss of life. Hrusovsky's actions have received widespread praise.
Sussmen, who submitted a guilty by Alford plea on Tuesday, faces up to 20 years in prison. His plea means he did not admit guilt, but acknowledged that there was sufficient evidence for a conviction. The sentencing for Sussmen will take place on November 26.
The details of Sussmen's plea were for three counts of attempted murder. The current name of the perpetrator of the stabbing attack at Red Rock Casino Resort & Spa is not publicly disclosed in available sources.
Clark County also honoured Hrusovsky for his actions during the incident. The honour comes as a testament to Hrusovsky's dedication to ensuring the safety of the casino's patrons and employees.
Hrusovsky, a respected member of the security team, has been commended for his professionalism and quick thinking in a difficult situation. His actions during the incident have undoubtedly saved lives, and he is truly a hero in the eyes of many.
