Ultra-Luxe shootout

The Ultra-Luxe shootout was a gun battle between a group of mobsters and the Las Vegas police before the Great War.

Background
On Wednesday, July 13, 2072, a group of mobsters were gambling at the Ultra-Luxe casino in Las Vegas when police arrived, leading to a gun battle between the two groups.

The exact circumstances of the gun fight are unknown, with multiple conflicting reports from eye witnesses as to what happened. A cashier reported the group of mobsters was on a winning streak when a soldier arrived and fired at them with a missile launcher, killing two of them, while other witnesses said that the battle was started by a sniper firing at the mobsters. During the course of the battle, witnesses say that they saw the mobsters try to surrender on two occasions.

When it was over, hundreds of rounds had been fired, all the mobsters were dead and 17 bystanders had been injured. The chief of police claimed it was a major victory for the city, and that "It's time for us to send a clear message that no one in Las Vegas is above the law."
