They say he was found on the Interstate 15 shoulder near Nipton and officers from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol and the Nevada Highway Patrol opened fire.

 

The investigation closed the freeway's northbound lanes from Wednesday into Thursday. I-15 is the main route between Southern California and Las Vegas.
