Security video captures gunman firing AR-style rifle at Las Vegas homes in broad daylight
Police say Daniel Lujan Jr. died after being apprehended, and investigators are reviewing video as they suspect impairment and plan a briefing Thursday.
- On Sunday, North Las Vegas police responded to reports of an adult man firing an AR-15-style rifle in the Aliante neighborhood, apprehending 39-year-old Daniel Lujan, who later died in police custody.
- Neighbors described Lujan, a construction worker and father of three, as having a 'calm demeanor' who rarely appeared aggressive, expressing shock at learning he was the gunman.
- Video of the arrest shows officers struggling to restrain Lujan as one officer appears to punch him multiple times; one officer suffered a hand injury during the encounter.
- While some question the force used, Andrew Regenbaum with the North Las Vegas Police Supervisors Association defended the officer's actions as 'appropriate but heroic' given the circumstances.
- Investigators, who suspect impairment, continue reviewing the incident as police expect to release a Critical Incident Briefing on Thursday that will include body-worn camera footage.
