Las Vegas police Wednesday night shot an armed man who stole a tow truck and barricaded inside an east valley residence before attempting to flee on a motorcycle.
Shootings
A man got out of the car at Lamb and St. Louis Avenue and fled on foot, leading the officer on a chase through a neighborhood. As the man climbed over a wall on the 4100 block of St. Louis, he turned back toward the officer with an object in his hand and the officer fired a single shot, police said.
The man who was fatally shot Saturday night while working on his truck in the east valley was a father of six, his family said.
Las Vegas police have arrested a man and a woman in connection with the deadly shooting of two people at an eastern valley apartment complex.
A 36-year-old man was about to visit ailing family at an eastern Las Vegas apartment complex. He was killed outside the apartment while trying to break up a fight, according to Las Vegas police documents.
Las Vegas police were called about 8:45 p.m. to 4656 Van Buren Ave., near Owens Avenue and Lamb Boulevard, where a man who had been shot in the head was found dead.
The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a Sunday afternoon shooting in the northeast valley that left one man injured.
