Around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to 2215 East Nelson Avenue, near Carey Avenue and Las Vegas Boulevard North, after reports of a shooting. According to the North Las Vegas Police Department, 43-year-old Edward Brooks walked toward officers armed with a firearm and did not listen to police commands.
