LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say a Las Vegas police officer shot and killed a man on Tuesday after he charged at an officer while carrying a knife.
Police say the man and several others arrived at a pawnshop in a pickup truck. They say the man then began attacking the men he arrived with and tried to steal the truck they were in.
Police say the truck's driver had a hammer and hit the man multiple times, which then prompted him to run away.
