Metro police investigating homicide after Spring Valley homeowner shoots, kills intruder
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating a homicide at the 6400 block of Placer Drive in Spring Valley.
Around 7:40 a.m. on Thursday, metro said they received a call from a residence in the 6400 block of Placer Drive that a male suspect was breaking into their home. They said the suspect had just broken the glass around their front door.
Metro said officers were dispatched to the residence and a gunshot was heard over the 911 call. The homeowners told police that they had just shot the male suspect.
As officers responded to the scene, they said they located the male suspect in the driveway of the residence with a gunshot wound. They said they rendered medical aid and personnel then transported him to University Medical Center where he died.
Metro said the homeowners have been cooperative with investigators and told police that the suspect was acting extremely irrational and not listening to demands to leave the property.
Metro said they do not anticipate an arrest at this time, but the investigation will still need to undergo review by the Clark County District Attorney’s office to determine if charges need to be filed.

Seattle Police lost 23 guns and don’t know where they went
Ashley Hiruko
The Office of the Washington State Auditor is looking into the loss of 23 firearms after Seattle Police reported them missing in August, Seattle Police confirmed on Thursday. The guns haven’t been accounted for since 2017.This discovery, made after an internal accounting of missing weapons, comes amid a longtime push by city leadership to address gun violence and rid Seattle streets of stolen firearms. Former Mayor Jenny Durkan passed local legislation in 2018 requiring that residents lock up their guns to keep them out of the hands of children and criminals.
It also highlights the department’s struggle in keeping their weapons secure. A separate inquiry found vulnerabilities with firearm storage after a teenager walked out with a gun in 2019.
Patrick Michaud, spokesperson for Seattle Police, said it’s uncommon for guns to go missing.
“We’re going to do our best to ensure that we do better,” Michaud said. “Until we find them, we’re going to keep looking for them.”

Presumably the 23 firearms would not be lost if the Seattle Po-Po knew where they went, and that they would also cease looking for them after they’re found. My eyes hurt from reading this.
