Man Found Dead After Gunfire Exchange With Las Vegas Police

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say they shot and killed a man on Tuesday who exchanged gunfire with them after he barricaded himself in a flaming apartment building.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says that when officers arrived to respond to a domestic disturbance call, a suspect from inside an apartment building shot at law enforcement.

The suspect was found dead after another exchange of gunfire, and a fire began inside the apartment.
