1. Steve Wynn resigned as Republican National Committee finance chairman yesterday amid allegations of sexual misconduct. The same day, a former Nevada Gaming Commission member was chosen to head a special committee to investigate the claims that span over three decades. Wynn has denied all claims, calling them a smear campaign orchestrated by his ex-wife.
2. Police say an east Las Vegas man was working on his truck last night when someone walked up to him and started shooting. It happened on the 1200 block of Lamb Boulevard, and his 10-year-old son found him. The family didn’t know he had been shot until medical responders arrived and discovered his gunshot wounds. Police say he died about 20 minutes later. Anyone with information can call Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
3. Five people suffered minor injuries yesterday when an Australian aircraft caught fire at Nellis Air Force Base. Officials say the plane never made it off the ground before it caught fire. The incident happened during an air-to-air combat training exercise.
