Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – A man was shot and killed by North Las Vegas Police on Monday after they were called to the scene of a man with a gun.
Police first received a call around 5:30pm about a man who was wearing a Michael Myers-style Halloween mask and walking around with a gun near MLK and Carey. The caller to 911 said the man had pulled a gun on him.
Shortly after the first call to police, they received a second 911 call saying that the same man pointed a gun at a customer at a minimart in the area.
Officers arrived shortly after, and once they located the man, ordered to put the gun down. Police say the man repeated refused their commands, then pulled a firearm from his waistband. One of the officers on scene then fired their weapon, striking the man.
A North Las Vegas Police spokesman said they planned to release body cam footage of the shooting as soon as possible.
The man who was shot has not been formally identified.
