KTNV Action News 630pm December 18, 2015

Huge Police Investigation th unbelievably cold this morning. Let me show you some of the numbers. A lot of 20s popping up across the valley. We wont necessarily see the same for tonight. Well see numbers only t degrees off these numbers right here. Some phenomenally frozen places. You folks in pahrump, 16 degrees this morning. Thats just too cold. Henderson, 41. Winds out of the southsoutheast at 3. Not making much of a windchill. We have that to look forward to. 45 degrees. You can see the temperatures are tumbling for tonight. Expect another cold night. Mccarran, 32. 51 for the afternoon high. Well keep numbers on the low side for another day before we start to see them come up. Theyll come up a little tonight, but not by much, not enough to get everyone out of freezing. A decent day is how it looked. If youre out and about, you had an extra layer. By the afternoon, you might not have needed that. Look at this garden hose and whats happening. This is extremely odd. When weve been beating the drum about a strong el nino year, that doesnt usually mean northern california, Pacific Northwest gets all the rain. It means Southern California and Southern Nevada gets the rain. Thats not what were seeing. Heres whats happening. High pressure has been blocking this to the north. Watch the timeframe. Watch one storm after another, the one coming through this weekend will stay to the north, give us a glancing blow. Another one to the north for the end of the weekend. Even another and another. Just a whole train following the jet stream. But the jet stream is pitched so far to the north, well get cloud cover. We could get sprinkles. Were not talking about a major rain event, not like in the Pacific Northwest. Phenomenal to see that in a year were calling strong el nino. It doesnt usually happen that way. High pressure is keeping it out tonight, youll remember these numbers. They were similar to last nights but not the same, two to three degrees warmer. Tomorrow the same for the afternoon highs, two to three degrees warmer, if you want to call it warm. Right around 60 degrees. Well see that a couple of times before christmas eve. Its on the calendar now. Ill tell you that. Lows will come up as well but be rather chilly as we get closer to 40. Back to you guys. Thank you. Continuing our coverage of breaking news right now, youre getting information that you will only find on action news. We have identified the suspect in the shooting of a Metro Police Officer. He is 38yearold teag fox. We got this mugshot from Law Enforcement sources. Our thanks to chief investigator darcy spears for getting this to us so quickly. We had a retired metro Lieutenant Randy sutton on earlier for most of the coverage who said the mugshot was available so quickly shows this is a person with prior involvement with Law Enforcement. Hour, hour and a half ago when metro officers were able to locate him. This is chopper 13 video over the scene as he was arrested. This from Southern Hills parkway right in the Southern Hills area and about four miles from the scene of the shooting. So one of the Big Questions that metro will try to answer tonight is how exactly was this suspect able to get from the emerald suites at las vegas boulevard and pebble all the way four miles away to the Southern Highlands area. Lets go to stephanie zeppelin. Shes joining us from the scene there and had a chance to listen to the sheriff talk about some of these questions as to how this all happened today. Reporter steve, they think one of the most likely options is somebody gave him a ride. The sheriff said i hope he jogged because that would mean only he was involved and they only had to worry about him and a case against him. They think the most likely option is somebody gave him a ride from here to southern they dont know if that somebody was prearranged, someone he knew or he flagged somebody down driving along the boulevard. Thats yet to be determined as he was taken into custody. We dont know of anyone else that was taken into custody at the time. Another question we had all day was whether gunfire was exchanged. Lomb lombardo said the suspect and the officer were talking to each other before the suspect opened fire and hit the officer, once in the chest and once in the armpit area. After being shot, the officer did return fire, but they do not think that the suspect was injured. The second officer on scene, because they ride solo but four domestic, two will respond. The second officer was on the property at the time, not with the first officer when he heard the gunshots and ran to his assistance saying over his radio that he thought the first officer had been shot. He ran up to find him where he that was the case. We did learn that gunfire was exchanged but they dont believe the suspect was injured. The second officer is very shaken up, but he was not injured either. Live at las vegas boulevard, channel 13 action news. Thank you.

That comes after the Internet Radio Service Received a favorable ruling on royalties required to pay to record pandora must pay 17 cents per 100 streams between 2016 and 2020, higher than theyre currently paying and more than it proposed. Even though todays activity was good, shares are down 25 percent this year. Vocation wagon hired a lawyer to volkswagen hired a lawyer. They admitted to rigging diesel engines to allow them to cheat on emissions tests. The attorney will decide how much each owner should be paid.

Its very cold this time of year. Mostly clear skies tonight. This mess, how much of that will make its way down south . Thats the question well answer. With High Pressure building in, thats all the clearing. Cold air, might get a swipe of that and a swipe of the clouds. The rain will stay out of the area. Hour by hour for tomorrow, peak temperatures in the middle 50s. Thats better than today. Thats not bad. Today, lower 50s. Well keep the middle 50s to 60s, believe it or not, and overnight lows get into the 40s. Over the weekend, i showed you the garden hose and the Pacific Northwest. Well get a glancing blow of clouds. We could pick up a quick shower over the weekend. Most of the storms stay out of the way and to the north. That allows us to stay closer to 60. Back to you. Thank you. An afternoon of chaos in the valley is over with the suspect arrested after allegedly shooting and wounding a Metro Police Officer. Lets go to jacqui at the scene where the arrest was made. This is in the Southern Highlands area by st. Rose parkway. Reporter you can see the suspect vehicle still there right on Southern Highlands parkway right behind that white truck you see on your screen. Its a silver sedan. They are allowing traffic to now move around this sort of road closure area. Traffic isnt being impeded too much. Still a large scene out here. A lot of folks collecting evidence, making sure all the ducks are in a row before they clear the area. Well show you video from earlier. I talked to a man who was driving southbound when he saw the cop cars turn on their one woman, an officer, with a gun got out of her vehicle, told everyone to back up and get out of their cars, move out of the area. They did, watching in disbelief after hearing about what was happening in the valley earlier today and there was a manhunt underway. Listen to what the witness told us. When the cop said back up, you mentioned before i dont want to get shot. Whatever you need. Yeah. Basically me and the cars around us looked around and we just backed up. I dont know. Pretty far. I didnt know if bullets were coming our way. She was ducked behind the truck of her car with the gun pointed towards them. Reporter police have not released any official information on the suspects identity. Weve been showing you a photo that my Police Sources, three Police Sources have confirmed that is the man in custody. The suspect in the police shooting, born in 1977. His name is teag fox.

Metro threw everythinghey had until they got the guy i custody about an hour and a half ago. This is t video fromhopper 13 over the scene as fox was take into custody at Southern Highlands. This l started as a domestic disturbanceall at the emerald ites. We heard fr retired metro Lieutenant Randy sutton, our crime andafety and security expert, that is metro rides single patrols. Both of them got to emerald suites. One officer was in one part of the complex, the other in another. They were both responding to a call when they were approached one was approacd by the suspect who had nothing to do wi that call but opened fi on the Metro Police Officer, who, although he was wounded, he was hit in a armpit awy from his protective gear. That officer was able to return fire. We heard from the sheriff the suspect was not hurt but was able to get from emerald suites to the Southern Highlands area, which is 41 2 miles away.

I had the opportunity to return to my office for a short period of time and to check out the network news and we were getting a lot of leads from the public with this. I saw an individual citizen provided a video associated with the evt, which was beneficial. And so im proud of the community and their efforts to help us and do our job. Were going to have much more coming up on action news the latest on our web site, ktnv. Com. A look at the next seven days. Well start to see some warming over the next few. I think tonight well see freezing spots across the valley, maybe only for an hour or two, but just below the freezing mark. A nice warmup for the weekend. Could get a glancing blow of the storm that will come to the north. That could mean breezes, maybe a sprinkle, maybe some clouds. Next week lets do it again. I like that idea. Fantastic. All right. Lets talk about doing it all over again. Were going to recap our breaking news weve been following since 11 00 this morning after a shooting happened at the emerald suites on las vegas boulevard.

Unfortunately, the officer wont be able to leave the hospital tonight, but were told that thats a pretty good probability tomorrow. Video before we go. This is one of the more remarkable moments of the chase. This was this is xavier, the guy who sent the video. You can see a couple of officers running. This is a couple of minutes after the shots were fired. Response. Follow the guy in the suit. Hes going to get into a silver suv. During sheriff lombardos news conference, he said the suspect was leaving the scene and ran across his path. In just a moment, youll see an suv fly by. Thats the suv that reportedly sheriff lombardo was in as he sped out of the parking lot and crossed paths with the suspect in the moments after the shooting before he was arrested about five hours later.
