Police: Man killed by Vegas officer was shooting randomly May 7, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police in Las Vegas said Friday that a 50-year-old man shot and killed on the porch of a second-story apartment by an officer with a rifle had been shooting randomly at people and vehicles and fired a shot before pointing a gun toward officers. William Thomas Holt Jr. died in the Tuesday evening shooting that left at least six vehicles with bullet holes but no other people injured in a densely populated rental complex east of downtown, Assistant Clark County Sheriff Brett Zimmerman told reporters. Police body-camera video showed Officer Erik Lindberg sighting a tactical rifle around the corner of a wall, firing two shots, squinting through a viewing scope and reporting that the man with a rifle had collapsed in the doorway of the apartment more than 50 yards (46 meters) away.
