Driver armed with a flamethrower rams LADWP substation in possible 'terrorism-related event'

A driver armed with a flamethrower has rammed a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power substation in a possible "terrorism-related event." The rented silver Nissan Sentra crashed through a secured gate at the site in Boulder City, Nevada, before a gun went off on Thursday. A man, who was wearing "soft body armor" and had two shotguns and an assault rifle-style pistol, was found dead in the car suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
