According to Las Vegas Metro Police, around 11PM Friday night (1/31/14) a robbery suspect was shot multiple times near the South Point Market in Laughlin, NV. Police had responded to call and upon locating the suspect, he produced a gun. Police Captain Czaba Maczala said that after giving commands to the man the responding officers perceived a threat and and “engaged the individual in gunfire.”
South Point Market is at the 3600 Block of Needles Highway and is next to the small local gaming place, Beside the Pointe. The suspect was shot on James Bilbray which intersects with Needles Highway beside South Pointe Market.
Early Saturday morning multiple police cars, investigators, and police line tape blocked off the area. By 9 am. Saturday morning, when we went past the store both places appeared to be open for business as usual.
