The fatal shooting of a Las Vegas police officer Thursday was the third shooting involving police in Clark County this week.
On Monday, police fatally shot a man who they say was wearing a Michael Myers-style mask and pulling a gun on people near the Martin Luther King Jr. statue in North Las Vegas.
While police didn’t identify the man who was killed, saying the Clark County coroner’s office would do so, the man’s mother and others identified him as Christopher Smith.
