Police detain 6 after man shot at in southwest Las Vegas
A man who chased after a reckless driver in southwest Las Vegas early Tuesday ended up being shot at, police said.
The man decided to follow a driver who almost hit his car in his neighborhood about 1:15 a.m., Las Vegas police Lt. David Gordon said. The location of the neighborhood was not disclosed.
During the chase, “in a residential neighborhood to the northeast of Hualapai Way and Reno (Avenue), a male stepped out from a corner and fired several shots at the victim’s vehicle,” Gordon said.
The victim’s vehicle was hit by gunfire. He was not injured. A witness in the area heard gunshots and saw a man running from the area of the shooting to a home on the 10000 block of Basalt Hollow Avenue.
Police said they detained six people at the residence as they continued to investigate.
