Las Vegas (KSNV) — The man who threatened a mass shooting at the Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup finals game has been sentenced to prison.
Matthew DeSavio received a sentence of 6 to 15 years in a Las Vegas courtroom on Tuesday.
A chain of gyms in Las Vegas is suing the Southern Nevada Health District over a policy that closes its pools when no lifeguards are present.
On Monday, Las Vegas Athletic Club filed a complaint seeking an injunction to reopen the pools at seven of its locations.
The Southern Nevada Health District announced last week that lifeguards are now required at LVAC pools, following the death of a member at a facility in February.
In the lawsuit, an attorney for LVAC states that the member suffered a fatal heart attack while at least 15 others were in the pool area, and no one noticed the emergency until after she had died.
The suit contends that the LVAC variance waiving the lifeguard requirement was revoked this month, effective in August, and staffing the pools could cost up to $4 million per year. Alternatively, remodeling the clubs to remove the pools would cost between $50 and $70 million.
“Both of these options would cause extreme financial hardship to LVAC,” the complaint states.
As an alternative to hiring lifeguards, LVAC is proposing a “pool monitoring room,” in which lifeguards would be watching pools remotely from a central location. All front desk employees would also be trained as lifeguards, including CPR and AED training, and will monitor the pools.
