Body cam video from Oct. 1 shows a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer using his radio to summon medical aid for shooting victims near the Route 91 Harvest country music festival.
Las Vegas police are investigating after an officer fired a shot at a suspect fleeing a traffic stop early Friday morning.
The officer tried to pull over a black Dodge Durango with license plates that belonged to a different vehicle. The driver took off northbound on Lamb Boulevard and at one point crossed into the southbound lanes.
A man got out of the car and fled on foot. During the chase, the officer saw something in the man’s hand and fired a single shot, police said.
The man wasn’t injured and was later taken into custody. Police could not confirm if the man had a weapon when he was arrested.
This is the 9th officer involved shooting of 2018. Per police policy, the identity of the officer will be released after 48 hours.

Las Vegas police have busted a fake marijuana store. Elevate Medical Pharmacy never had a license to sell, according to police. Clayton Bernard, 36, was arrested on suspicion of illegally selling marijuana, a felony. Bernard told police that Elevate “had nothing to do with marijuana sales.” He also said he did not understand his rights because he wasn’t a U.S. citizen and was trying to start his own country. It’s unclear how long Elevate was in operation.
