Police shot man after he allegedly fired at them in casino parking lot.
Two Metropolitan Police Department officers shot and wounded a 48-year-old man suspected in a series of robberies after he allegedly shot at police officers, a senior Metro officer said.
Matthew Glunt was shot by Detective Christopher Gowens and Officer Joshua Leach in a parking lot at the Gold Coast, at West Flamingo Road and South Valley View Boulevard, at about 11 p.m.
Thursday, Assistant Sheriff Yasenia Yatomi said during a news conference at Metro headquarters Tuesday.
Glunt was taken to University Medical Center and was “stable,” Yatomi said.
In a telephone interview Tuesday evening, Glunt’s mother Cecile Glunt, 73, said she has been unable to get any information about her son’s condition from police or prosecutors.
“My heart’s broken. I’m in shock. I don’t have any answers,” said Cecile Glunt, who lives in Florida and is planning to fly to Las Vegas on Friday.
Cecile Glunt said that her son is suffering from a third bout of cancer and that he told her he didn’t want to live.
Police body camera footage from both Gowens and Leach was shown at the news conference and released to the media Tuesday.
