Police Search Home Of Man Dead After Temple Arson, Shooting

Authorities seized computer and electronic items from the home of a man who police say torched a Las Vegas-area Buddhist temple, shot toward a least one monk, ignited another blaze at a nearby home and killed himself in a neighbor's yard.

 

North Las Vegas police said Tuesday it appears 38-year-old Derek Debrowa acted alone in the Sunday evening arsons and shooting.

Investigators are trying to determine his motive. Police say Debrowa was single, unemployed and lived with his parents, spending most of his time with his computer.

 

No one was hurt at the Thai-Buddhist Temple-Las Vegas or the fire-damaged home.
