police shoot man at mccarran.

A pair of breaking stories from the Las Vegas Review Journal:

Two officer-involved shootings

Authorities are investigating two officer-involved shootings that occurred about 4:30 p.m. today, including one at McCarran International Airport.

In that case, a man with a knife grabbed a young boy on the non-boarding side of the A and B gates checkpoint, then ran through the exit for the checkpoint, which prompted a lockdown by airport security, police said. Three Las Vegas police cornered the man and shocked him with a Taser causing him to release the child and fall to the floor, police said. The man then got up and lunged toward officers so they shot him, police said.

The man, who is believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, was taken to a hospital, but his condition has not yet been released.

About the same time, Las Vegas police were involved in a shooting in the 6000 block of Washington Avenue near Jones Boulevard. The condition of the victim, who was transported to University Medical Center, was unknown.

Police said no officers were injured in either incident.
