A Las Vegas Police Officer and an armed suspect both died Tuesday following a late afternoon gun battle on East Tropicana Avenue. Police were called around 4:00 p.m. about “a person with a firearm at a business,” FOX 5 Vegas reported. When officers arrived at the scene the suspect allegedly began shooting at them, and at least one of the officers shot back. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Sheriff Kevin McMahill said, “A 30-year-old Las Vegas police officer was then worked on heroically by the Clark County Fire Department, other officers and EMS.” The wounded officer was then transported to a hospital “where nurses worked to save his life” as well.
