SHOOTING IN LAS VEGAS
Resident wounded during home invasion
A 44-year-old man was grazed with a bullet in the back of his head Wednesday morning during an apparent home invasion, but the victim is expected to survive, Las Vegas police said.
Police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said the man's 18-year-old daughter called 911 and told a dispatcher that she and her father were sleeping when a man kicked in the door and shot him in the head.
The incident occurred about 10:40 a.m. at the 7100 block of Smoke Ranch Road, near Rock Springs Drive, Morgan said.
Ramon Denby, also a police spokesman, said police were investigating whether any items were stolen from the apartment.
Police did not release the victim's identity.
Morgan said the injured man was transported to University Medical Center. "When we got there, he was conscious, talking and alert," Morgan said.
As of Wednesday, nobody had been arrested, Denby said.
The incident caused Cimarron-Memorial High School and The Delta Academy to be on lock-downs, which were lifted at 11:30 a.m.
FLIGHT FROM TONOPAH
Search on for missing plane in California
Volunteers from the Civil Air Patrol continued the search on Wednesday for a Colorado couple whose small plane disappeared Friday during a flight from Tonopah to Modesto, Calif.
The search is being concentrated within 50-mile radius of Mammoth Lakes, Calif., and takes in a wide swath of foothills and high desert along the eastern slope of the Sierras in California and Nevada.
The aircraft is a blue and white fixed-wing glider with a single engine that allows it to take off and maneuver. It was last spotted on radar Friday evening west of Benton, Calif.
