Witnesses React to Officer Shooting
LAS VEGAS -- A domestic disturbance Sunday night a the Summerhill Pointe Apartments is the third officer involved shooting in eight days.
Police say one man shot another in the leg, and then pointed the gun at officers, forcing them to shoot.
"Everybody's a little on edge. They're all kind of freaked out about the shootings," said neighbor Wayne Pender.
Residents are still in shock from the shooting. Metro says around 3 p.m., family attempting to pick up grandchildren from the apartment called 911 to report the suspect, 27-year-old Dennis Lovelady had a gun on him.
Officers arrived, but since the gun was legally registered to Lovelady, they left. Pender says Lovelady seemed agitated earlier that day. The suspect described as a nuisance was sitting in his friend's car.
