A suspect was taken into custody without incident after Las Vegas police worked a two-hour barricade situation in connection with an officer-involved shooting earlier Monday.

Apartments were evacuated Monday night after the barricade started about 8 p.m.

Police were looking for a suspect who was involved in the attempted robbery-turned-officer-involved shooting Monday afternoon at West Flamingo Animal Hospital, 5445 W. Flamingo Road.

The robber was believed to be inside an apartment complex on the 3800 block of Wynn Road near Arville Street, said the Metropolitan Police Department in a statement.

Viking Road was closed during the barricade.
