This is now the second fatal police shooting in less than a week within Metro's jurisdiction and least the 5th or6th fatal police shooting within a year in the Valley.
Update: the LVRJ is reporting the guy rose from the dead and is still alive but in surgery. http://www.lvrj.com/news/person-injured-in-officer-involved-shooting-in-northwest-valley-98582399.html

funny that you seem to be the only one reporting that anyone died. ALL OF THE MEDIA in Vegas has said he is the hospital but very much alive.
ReplyDeleteUmm, you need to get some reading glasses. Look at the end of the post. When I wrote that, it was true and this morning, on Fox 5 web site this morning, they still had he died.
