Atty Gen. Aaron Ford
Attorney General Ford Issues Statement on Officer Shootings
During Local Protests
Las Vegas – Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford issued the following statement on the recent officer-involved shootings that took place during local protests in the Las Vegas valley:
“Today I was heartbroken to hear of two officer involved shootings that took place last night in the Las Vegas valley. According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, one officer is in critical condition and the investigation remains ongoing. My family is praying for the families of those who were killed and for the recovery of those injured.
Across Nevada and this nation, people are scared, angry and in pain. Racial injustice has been part of this country’s history since before America was founded continues to this present day. But this country will not absolve its violent history with a violent future. Americans have made great strides towards equality because passionate people took the heat of their anger and used it to forge real change. Thousands of Nevadans have peacefully protested against racial injustice and I encourage those peaceful demonstrations and taking constructive action. Donate to a cause, volunteer with an organization you believe in, and participate in our elections. You may feel helpless right now, but in reality, you have the power here to drive the change we are all seeking for a more equal and just country. “
More information about the shootings and the ongoing investigation can be found on the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s website.

It’s that time of year….AGAIN. Summertime outdoor watering will be limited somewhat so residents and business owners don’t overdo it. It’s an annual reminder that watering every day is a BIG NO-NO. We live on the edge of a desert and we all have to behave like we understand.
Here’s the schedule: June 2nd is the actual first-of-the-week watering day of the season and will be through September 30th. Watering days – for ODD numbered addresses – are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and for EVEN numbered addresses it’s Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. Watering is allowed in the morning up to 10am. Then turn it off. Watering can then resume after 6pm. Again, no watering on Mondays.
However, there is hand watering! Hand watering is allowed when flowers, shrubs and vegetables need it. But remember, don’t water when it’s too hot or too windy. Again all outside watering starts Tuesday, June 2nd and runs to the last day of September.

12 midnight – Disturbance at a home in the 2800 block of Oxbow Drive, directly south of Walmart off Lone Mountain. There were reported arguments between family members and possibly those that weren’t family members. There was a scramble by Carson City Deputy Sheriff’s to determine the location of the weapons that were said to be on the property. The weapons were found by deputies. The deputies settled down with family members and tried to get to the bottom of what happened. It did not seem that anyone was injured in the commotion or what triggered it. There were children in the house at the time of the incident.

6:27pm – A motorcyclist was hit pretty hard by a vehicle at Woodside and Desatoya. The motorcycle rider was up and walking around but is bleeding pretty bad from his left hand. He quickly took off running leaving his motorcycle behind.
6:30pm Reports from the scene say the motorcyclist appeared to be drunk and fled the scene. He was described as a white male with black hair and wearing casual clothing. Deputies can probably track him down by his license plate number, even though it’s an expired plate.
