Three police officers shot in Las vegas
Three metro officers are being patched up at University Medical Center’s Trauma Center. All three were shot while answering a domestic disturbance. Police say the injuries don’t appear to be life-threatening.
Police responded to call from a mother about her adult son. Several minutes later, police got a call of shots fired and an officer down.
The alleged shooter is believed to be the son.
This happened at the Paradise Apartments at Paradise and Twain, about 1:30 or 2:00 this afternoon.
One officer was shot in the vest, one in the wrist and one in the arm.
Police said two of the three officers were saved from injuries by their bulletproof vests.
The suspect eventually surrendered quietly.
