LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say a police officer is wounded and a shooter is being sought after gunfire erupted as officers responded to a domestic disturbance at apartment complex south of the Las Vegas Strip.
Officer Laura Meltzer said Thursday the officer's wounds weren't believed to be life-threatening.
She says Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo was with him at University Medical Center.
The assailant wasn't in custody.
The Las Vegas Sun reports the officer was shot in his bullet-resistant vest and wounded in the arm as he arrived to a report of a disturbance before noon at the Emerald Suites apartments on Las Vegas Boulevard near Pebble Road.
It says police are searching for a bald white man in his 20s wearing a white shirt and a black hooded sweatshirt.
