Las Vegas officer shot during SWAT standoff

By Mary Manning
The Las Vegas Sun

LAS VEGAS — A 10-year veteran Metro Police officer was shot in the leg this morning by a man in a Hummer that is overturned near Russell Road and Rainbow Boulevard, Metro Police said.

SWAT teams have surrounded the SUV and are moving in on the suspect.

Traffic has been blocked off around the area of the standoff, and some of the houses in the area have been evacuated

The officer was taken to Spring Valley Hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, police said.

Police had responded to a call of a man with a gun at the Penthouse Club, a strip club on Russell Road, about 6:55 a.m., police said. The police chased the vehicle to an area near Durango High School, which is closed for the summer.

After the Hummer went through a chain link fence and rolled onto its side in the desert, the officer approached the car, was shot and returned fire, police said.
