Schoolteacher arrested, faces several charges

A middle school teacher who authorities said shot at a television show crew early Tuesday was upset about them parking in front of his home, according to a police report released Friday.

Carlos Enrique Barron, 40, a special education teacher at Smith Middle School, was arrested on several charges, including attempted murder.

The report said Barron grabbed a gun about 9:45 p.m. and confronted the crew of "Repo Games," which airs on Spike TV.

Witnesses told police that Barron was upset over the crew's security van parking in front of his home, on the 2900 block of Vigilante Court, near Centennial Parkway and Losee Road. A production van and tow truck were also at the scene.

Barron slapped one of the crew's security officers and pulled out a gun, according to the report. He fired at least three shots, but nobody was injured, the report said.

By the time North Las Vegas police arrived, Barron had retreated into his home. Officers caught him escaping out of the back and jumping over a wall. A police dog took him down. Barron told officers he brought the gun out because he recently had a car stolen from his driveway, but he denied firing at the crew.

The film crew was at the scene looking for a neighbor's vehicle. Original reports said that Barron was upset over his car being repossessed.

Barron has been with the Clark County School District since 2002. He has been removed from the classroom and suspended with pay while the allegations are investigated, a district spokesman said.
