LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas police say officers fatally shot a man who refused to put down an object which officers thought might be a weapon as he continued to approach them.
Police say the incident occurred early Saturday morning near Decatur Boulevard and Warm Springs Road after a resident noticed a man walking through a neighborhood acting suspiciously and carrying a long object of some kind.
According to police, the man had what appeared to responding officers to be a weapon in his hand and he refused to put it down and obey officers’ commands.
