    Las Vegas Police Officers Fatally Shoot Man Armed With Knife



    A Las Vegas man who was fatally shot by a police officer Tuesday hid in a bedroom closet before lunging at officers with an 8-inch butcher knife. Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Tim Kelly briefed reporters on the incident Thursday morning, saying officers responded to a western valley apartment complex after receiving calls about a domestic violence incident. Kelly played a short clip at the briefing of a neighbor’s 911 call as well as footage from two officers’ body-worn cameras. The Police Department identified the officer who fired his gun as Officer Kyle Prior, 28. Officers were dispatched to the Bella Vida Apartments complex, on South Cimarron Road and West Charleston Boulevard, at 12:14 a.m. Tuesday. Kelly said the officers spent nearly 10 minutes knocking on the door of the apartment before a woman and a 4-year-old child answered. The woman told the officers there was no one else in the apartment, but officers suspected there was a man inside based on the 911 call. The officers went inside the apartment to look for the man. Footage from the body-worn cameras shows the officers walking through the dark apartment by flashlight. “They could tell someone was inside the residence,” Kelly said.

    It looked like the victim who got shot was about to attack the police officer. Though i'm unsure if the guy would have successfully been able to attack the officer, since he had just been hit with a stun gun twice i believe.

    It's probably because they are in a dark room.

    That shit was intense. He's lucky he didn't get shot after the first 3 warnings.

    Unlike a lot of American Police shootings I feel this was fully justifiable.

    This shooting was justified. The cops found him. From what I heard the man either said "I got a knife" or a cop said "he's got a knife". Then they told him to drop it but instead he ran at them. If a man runs at you with a knife, that's a threat to your safety.

    It's obviously justified. I wouldn't expect them to get killed because it's not justified.

    It looks like you’re writing unsubstantiated nonsense. Would you like to turn on all caps?

    ALL YOU HAVE TO FUCKING DO IS DO WHAT THE COP TELLS YOU. COMMON FUCKING SENSE. But when you don't have common sense, things like Black Lives Matter is born.
