Overview
- North Las Vegas police say at least one officer fired after a man with a handgun ran onto Legacy High School during classes Thursday, and no students, officers, or bystanders were hurt.
- Investigators say the man also fired his weapon and was later found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, and he was taken to University Medical Center in stable condition.
- The encounter started after a 10:30 a.m. call about a man acting erratically and concealing items at a store near Deer Springs Town Center, which led to a foot chase where he pointed a gun at an officer.
- The campus and a nearby magnet school went into lockdown, and road closures around the area caused long delays for parents trying to pick up students.
- Police later described the situation as contained with no known ongoing threat as the investigation continued and the man's identity remained undisclosed.
