Suspect Dies, Victim Injured After Attempted Robbery
One man is dead and another hospitalized after an attempted robbery ends in gunfire.
Police say an 82-year-old man was washing his car near E. Sahara and Bruce around 10 p.m. last night when two men approached him with weapons and demanded money. The elderly man told the suspects that he had left his money at home.
According to police, one of the suspects got into the back seat of the victim's car, demanding to be taken to the victim's home. The victim had a pistol hidden inside of his car, and he shot the suspect. The suspect in turn fired at the victim, striking him in the chest.
The victim was transported to the hospital where he is in serious condition.
The suspect died from his gunshot wounds.
An accomplice to the robbery was later apprehended and has been booked into the Clark County Detention Center, charged with the Robbery, Kidnap, and Attempted Murder of the 82-year old victim.
Since the death of his accomplice occurred during the commission of these crimes, he has also been charged with Murder.
Police say the elderly man acted in self defense.
