Dozens of people rallied at Metro’s Northeast Area Command station Monday night to celebrate three people who lost their lives in a series of shootings a year ago. Las Vegas police officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck, who were ambushed and killed as they ate lunch on June 8, 2014, were honored at the substation, located near North Pecos Road and North Las Vegas Boulevard.
An arrest has been made in a shooting that fatally wounded a Minnesota man who was trying to buy 10 pounds of pot, according to a Las Vegas police report.
Officials at Lake Mohave found three pipe bombs underwater near Laughlin, the U.S National Park Service and Arizona’s Kingman police said Monday.
The then-officer shot the man four times after he saw him come out of an abandoned house on East Tonopah Avenue near Las Vegas Boulevard.
He died from a gunshot wound to the chest about 12:45 p.m. near the intersection of May Avenue and Olive Street, police said.
The families of public employees who die on the job will get better benefits, regardless of the duration of their employment, thanks to a legislative amendment driven by the families of Las Vegas police officers who were gunned down during a shooting rampage last year.
