Man who shot North Las Vegas officer was drunk, waving shotgun

A 25-year-old man who shot a North Las Vegas police officer Monday night was drunk and waving a shotgun when his family called police, his grandfather said Tuesday. Christopher Burcham was frustrated about being unemployed for more than five months, said his grandfather Gerald Burcham. He had been drinking on Monday and started brandishing a gun during an argument with his family. That's when the family left the house and called 911, he said.
