Three people have been arrested and charged with murder for the death of off-duty Metro Police Officer Trevor Nettleton. He was fatally shot in his garage in North Las Vegas during a shooting that officials are calling a "senseless" crime.

Death investigation
UPDATED STORY: Police: 3 arrested in officer’s death have gang ties
Three people have been arrested in connection with the death of a Metro Police officer fatally shot Thursday morning in his North Las Vegas home.
Saul Williams Jr., 20, and Prentice Marshall, 18, were charged with murder in the death of 30-year-old officer Trevor Nettleton, a three-year veteran of the Metro Police department. Marshall was shot during an exchange of gunfire that occurred in the garage of Nettleson's home and was taken to University Medical Center for treatment.
This morning, police announced that the Injured Police Officers Fund has opened an account for Officer Trevor Nettleton's family at Nevada State Bank. The account number is: 602027542.
The IPOF assists officers and their family members with expenses not covered by industrial insurance for serious line-of-duty injuries or a line-of-duty death.
Late Thursday, North Las Vegas Police announced the arrest of a third person, a 17-year-old male whose name was not released because of his age. The teen, a North Las Vegas resident, was being booked into the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center on charges of murder with a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with a weapon and conspiracy to commit robbery, police said.
Williams has been booked into the North Las Vegas Detention Center. Marshall is under police protection at UMC and will be booked when he is released, said Sgt. Tim Bedwell of North Las Vegas Police.
Investigators this afternoon said the shooting at about 12:18 a.m. in the 1100 block of Emerald Stone Avenue was random. Nettleson was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical crews.
At an afternoon news conference, North Las Vegas Police Chief Joseph Forti called the shooting "senseless."
Sheriff Doug Gillespie echoed those sentiments, saying "the Metro family suffered a senseless loss." Nettleton "put service and sacrifice above self," as both a Marine and in his effort to protect his family, Gillespie said.
Evidence that led to the arrests wasn't discussed.
Officers responded to Nettleton's home after receiving numerous reports of gunshots early Thursday in the area of Lone Mountain Road and Bruce Street.
Investigators say Nettleton appeared to have been the victim of a random attack in his garage, possibly in a botched robbery attempt, Bedwell said.
North Las Vegas Police spokeswoman Chrissie Coon said Nettleton and at least one of the suspects fired gunshots.
Nettleton leaves behind a wife and two children, a 1-year-old son and a 2-month-old daughter. Before working for Metro Police, he served at the Bush White House during his last 18 months in the Marine Corps.
Nettleton wasn't in a police uniform at the time of the shooting, Bedwell said.
Police said the officer's family was home at the time.
Neighbor Jorge Revera said the sound of two gunshots woke him up. His daughter, Jenny Martinez, 26, said she heard people running by her bedroom window, which faces the street.
Revera said the gunshots surprised him because the neighborhood is usually calm and quiet.
Neighbor Darrell Southern said he heard three gunshots while watching television and looked outside to see what happened. No one was in sight, he said.
The criminal investigation is being conducted by North Las Vegas Police detectives, Coon said.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie has offered to provide any Metro Police resources needed.
"I've just lost another member of my police family," Gillespie said. "We are out there, keeping the community safe."
Bedwell said whether it is an officer, a relative, or a child, officers investigate any such crime in the same way.
Nettleton "was a hero as far as I'm concerned," Bedwell said. At least one of the two men were armed, but Bedwell said the number of shots fired would not be discussed.
"We're going to continue to follow leads," Bedwell said. "He was protecting his family."
Bedwell said Nettleton's garage door was open when the men entered.
Nettleton was commended two years ago by Metro Police as one of five officers who saved lives, including those of two young children and an elderly man during a fire at the Century Meadows apartment complex in northwest Las Vegas.

Why is Metro all over this? It happened outside their jurisdiction... are they afraid that they will have to cover something up? Hope nobody gets shot in the back.
Because it is a Metro cop.
The Review Journal has a much more detailed account. According to the RJ, the officer was shot in his home shortly after arriving there from his work shift. They report a random robbery attempt with multiple suspects. The officer's family was in the house at the time of the shooting. Let's hope the SUN will have their update of the story very soon before too many more "hate the cops" posts appear.
Doesn't matter if it is a Metro cop, it is not their jurisdiction.
The 11 o'clock news said he was wearing civvies, there was no patrol car outside. It just might be random or maybe even a revenge killing.
He is dead and we lose again. I see no reason to denigrate this man. He was sworn to protect us and I for one appreciated his efforts.
I hope they find all three of the criminals and give them the needle/
redneck-Which story are you reading??
Doc-Because it is one of their cops and they are the largest Law Enforcement agency in Nevada. They have the most manpower and resources available to them in order to catch the suspects. The story clearly stated that "The criminal investigation is being conducted by North Las Vegas detectives..." and "Sheriff Doug Gillespie has offered to provide any Metro Police resources needed."
Stop hating.
Doc, Metro's jurisdiction is the the whole county. Look it up.
RebinReno,
I smell a moron.
The moron is probably on drugs or something.
The moron is alive and posting ridiculous comments.
We are not better off.
LVMPD (Metro) has county wide jurisdiction. They can investigate any crime that occurs within the "four walls" of the county, even though the location of the crime might have their own law enforcement agency. Conversely, North Las Vegas PD, Henderson PD, and Boulder PD can only investigate crimes that occur within their city limits.
it's too bad liberals allow criminals to walk our streets.
vote safety
vote republican
redneck
What story are you talking about??
And Metro has every right to investigate as several posters have stated - Metro has jurisdiction anywhere in the County if needed. And since this is one of their own - they have EVERY RIGHT to investigate this senseless crime.
THank you BOoks for a respectful comment.
RIP. :(
It's been a rough year for Metro officer's. Hopefully 2010 will be better.
Very sad news, Officer identified here: http://www.yakima-herald.com/stories/200...
Trevor was an amazing man who served his country for years in the USMC. He continued that service at Las Vegas Metro.
Respect his memory, his wife and children and his family.
doc holliday
you're opinion is the opinion of a fool.
a police officer is dead, gunned down at his own home by criminal punks, and you find something to whine about in that his own department offers resources to help with the investigation.
STFU.
Another valley homicide -- a community reminder that it is each citizen's duty and obligation to protect themselves and their families from being victimized in such a manner -- hoping the perpetrators are found and justice rendered, rest in peace citizen - condolences to surviving family members.
: (
Crock_Holiday: I believe in Karma and someday Karma will wiz on your grave.
I am so, so sorry for what has happened. I feel horrible for his family and friends. My support and hopes go out to the men and women of NLVPD and LVMPD. Its terrible to have to investigate the death of a brother or have to bury him. If the article in the Yakima Herald is correct, this officer was an amazing fellow long before he donned the LVMPD uniform. I'm glad we had the opportunity to benefit from his service-I only wish it ended very, very differently.
So many of these mean, ugly comments come from a lot of people who make Nevada at the bottom of the list of everything good, and at the top of the list for everything bad. It's often hard to believe that Nevada is a State of the Union. Most of the time it belongs sandwiched between Nicaragua and Honduras. So many of these comments deserve nothing less than a good flush down the toilet.
I find it absolutely amazing the number of social parasites who can manage to get hold of the internet.
This man died in his OWN garage, the fact that he was a Metro Officer is a grim statistic but he was a citizen who heard a noise and investigated the noise. I have done that, that could have been me.
If the article from Yakima (thanks for the link) is correct one of the perps was wounded and others are in custody. I am glad this citizen was armed and fought back but saddened that he lost his life.
To all the putrid Metro haters; I am sorry your pathetic existence has brought you to this point where a law abiding person can be reviled and the perps congratulated.
Our society is truly getting worse everyday and people in authority continue to do a job that draws little praise and heaps scorn on them.
Thank you Metro for doing your job.
To: CarsonNewsHound: Please post frequently and often; your comments are refreshing and oh so true. Thank you. Please remember this officer, especially his family. There will probably be a memorial fund set up for them. Please, everyone, donate generously to help them.
And just to add to my last comment, even though this officer died out of uniform, he died fighting criminals.
It is not an issue of metro haters - there have been unnecessary deaths - officers crashing cars and shooting lots of folks - some may be avoidable. I hope they get the people who shot the officer in his own home area. No one deserves death like this. In fact I believe no one deserves death period.
If Metro is bad, try living here without them. The punks will be crawling in your windows.
Hey gumbo, doc holiday, Metro has jurisdiction anywhere in Clark County. Remember, Metro is run by the sheriff. The police force of the city of Las Vegas is the city marshals. The Las Vegas Police Department and the Clark County Sheriff's Department merged years ago to become Metro. Metro covers ALL of Clark County. Understand or do we need Wyatt Earp to explain it to you?
Lots of sick puppys posting here......
Looks like a set-up, robbery my @$$...Looks like he was being stalked, cover-up
Well, i didn't post anything hateful... so i don't know why you fools have sand in the vag. I forgot about Metro being Clark Co as well... and with all the corruption prior to this incident and with the vague story that was first posted, it is easy to jump to conclusions and that is what I did. So...i'm eating crow... nom, nom, nom.
Why Hero???, I don't understand that?, The real Heros are in Irak.
I hope don't spend thounsand of our tax dollars in funeral.
I've heard that there were four perps and he shot two of them. Was this an execution?
...Please,.."Youandme" and others that are posting hatefully,.. there are actually some griefing while looking and posting here....
please go back to your comic-strip world until this is over, please?....respectfully? Your "fractured glass" perspective is too hard to comprehend.....
Rejco... what is wrong with you? This man left behind a wife and two very young children. Could you even imagine what his wife (now widow) is going through right now? You disgust me.
For all that may be interested, the comment section of the Review Journal has the web addresses on Myspace of 2 of the 4 suspects that were caught.
Doug Gillespie should designate a "help Metro day" once a year. The public could shoot crackheads and lawyers with impumity on that day.
my thoughts and prayers go to officer Nettlesons family. Tough break for a Marine who made it home.
Agreed captain. Prayers are with the family.
I am sorry to hear of this loss.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
This should be a wake up call.. The garage is a santuray where you go after a hard days work to figure things out...You work the the swing or graveyard your children and wife are either asleep or you make breakfast and welcome them to the new day.. One can buy a gun (shoot first and deal with it later) Poop runs downhill.. It starts with Oscar (please stop about the future) and stop this crap right NOW!!!!!
Earlier reports said there may have been 4 intruders involved?
It will be interesting to see what actually happened, if the truth is ever released to the public...
One of the most dangerous situations any person can stumble into is a residential burglary in progress. This is not the first off-duty cop killed this way, and scores of citizens are murdered annually from walking in on and surprising burglars.
This is a sign of amateurs, or a grudge hit, as professional 'career' burglars know carrying a gun or hitting an occupied dwelling increase penalties if caught. "Professional' burglars know the difference between 'burglary' and 'robbery', with a potential additional charge of kidnapping if occupants are restrained against their will.
As his family was home, and he just got off-duty, it may have been a 'hit' rather just just plain stupid planning on the part of the shooters. Hopefully a competent investigation will commence ...
Maybe this was a gang initiation.
does not pass smell test... there was a similar killing of an off duty PHX area cop...and it was random so we will see
R.I.P., Officer Nettleton, and to those you left behind, peace.
stevem; ANY CHANCE that you could stop being a complete and total a**hole?
CaptainAmerica, that is the best thing I've heard all day. I completely agree with that statement. I'm ready.
mormon: lynched. Correct spelling is important. Nevertheless, I concur with your sentiments.
Books: I sense that you're instincts are correct.
geen: are you refuting that Democrats with their "fiel good" mentality are not soft on violent crime? Afterall, its always someone else's fault.
Youandme,
it's spelled "Iraq", not "Irak" you illiterate clown.
and yes, anybody who dies defending their home and family against 4 armed gunmen is a hero in my book.
not to mention the fact that Officer Nettleton served 9 years honorably in the United States Marine Corps prior to joining Metro 3 years ago. I would be very surprised if he did NOT serve a combat tour in Iraq or Afghanistan during his 9 years of service.
Breaks my heart.. May he rest in peace.
Hey Doc Idiot:
It's not your jurisdiction. Did you lose your life? Did your kids just lose their dad to a few thug gang bangers who don't pay tax, steal from the working class, and terrorize people from common working class neighborhoods? You with your "wild west" monaker: Doc Holiday, give me a break. You would probably the one dumb enough to give metro a reason to shoot you in the back.
sbflorish, crawl back under your Summerlin rock and come back with something better. That was weak... very weak. I give it an EPIC FAIL!
Mikegino, you are correcting spelling, but you failed in grammar. It's not you're (which is you are,) it is your. So fix your own mistakes first.
Once again Doc Moron arrives with the same intellect of a man who has not evolved since the "real" doc was alive. Why don't you crawl under the last ball of phlem that Doc spit out with his tuburqulosis infected lungs. I spend most of my time around the area that the incident happened, not Summerlin and like some of the other respondents, realize the that N Las Vegas is in Clark County (Metro's jurisdiction). Read a book instead of wasting our time. RIP to the officer, this was ridiculously sensless.
Requiescat In Pace! Semper Fi!
sbflorish, your spelling is horrendous, pay attention to the red line underneath your words.
RIP TREVOR YOU WERE A COPS COP AND IM GONNA MISS YA BRO!!! As for the gang that has ties to the 2 punks,YOU BETTER WATCH YOUR BACKS! THERE ARE GONNA BE ALOT OF GUNS COMEING FOR YA,AND JUST MAY THE BEST MOVE FOR YOU,(YOU BUNCH OF PARASITES)TO PULL UP STAKES,AND GET OUT OF TOWN!!!
Whether "in the line of duty" or not, when an officer is lost, it is a sad day for public safety. I personally believe that once the criminals acted, he was acting in the line of duty and should receive full honors as such.
God Bless Officer Nettleton and his family.
Thank you for your service as an Officer and as a Marine.
Any other Metro officer reading this, Thank you for keeping Las Vegas a safer place, your service is respected.
I love some of the lewd comments made by the trash civilians know as Las Vegas. First off, he was a police officer that was killed by 3 good for nothing, black kids that just keeps giving their race a bad name. Second, redneck43, I dont know what small little hick town you came from in Texas, but you people seem to side with the criminals all the time. Thats just insane. Who the hell runs from a cop in the first place unless you know you did something wrong. I would'nt. Third, this town, about a decimal point the size of New York and Chicago, but I have never seen such trash and crime until I moved here. So, for everyone that thinks its cool to run their mouth about the police sucks, why are they shooting, blah blah, what happens if its your house they break into. Wow, I bet you just wish they would talk to you instead of robbing, killing, raping you. Losers, Las Vegas, there is a reason why your considered the most retarded city in the country and you will continue to get more retards to live here everyday. Sure wish they did nuclear testing here again.
I doubt the budget has anything left in it to benefit a truly deserving officer after the million dollar funerals for the other so-called heroes who have died this year.
RIP jarhead, Semper Fi!
I only wish that vegas was the same as it was in 87 when I moved here. Of all the homes that these waste of human life picked to attack, It belongs to a police officer? It seems that mathematically, These scum knew what they had in mind before their arrival! This officer deserves nothing but respect, The others deserve DEATH!
Tragic loss.
Why do you think the City of North Las Vegas, Henderson, and the other jurisdictions spend tax money on police forces if Metro has countywide jurisdictions? Common sense tells me that Metro does not have jurisdiction in these other cities. They probably have an interlocal agreement that allow them to go into these areas when chasing suspects, but they don't patrol those areas on a regular basis.
steve m:
these were kids with probably no priors, so get off your high horse thinking that voting republican will make things safer. you're a joke, and so is your "party". we had 8 years of republican rule and not only are we not safer, we're in the worst economic crisis in almost 100 years.
This Officer is truely a Hero, just as all Police Officers are hereos. The Police fight each and every day to protect the good and the bad. Officer Nettlesome would have protected these killers, as part of his job, no questions asked. This could have happened to anyone of us, our wives, our husbands, children or family. He deserves a hereos send off and to be remembered each day. He fought back to protect his family and beliefs against these punks. Sadly it cost him his life, by men barely out of their teens, who don't even know how precious life is. Everyone of you who want to bash the Police, what about these kids that took this heroes life. What about this Officer's family. God Bless this man and his family. I truely Mourn for this Hero and his family. He deserves a full Law Enforcement funeral for his act of bravery, IN THE LINE DUTY, no one will be able to stop that because the Sheriff will not have it any other way! God Bless you Trevor and may God bless or family, friends and all Police Officers.
sunny: we're in a bad economic situation because of the democrat inspired housing bubble and the exponential growth of other global economies. The democrats simply don't care about whether the entitlements they bestow, such as universal home ownership and health care, are sustainable. They want to feel good for the moment.
vegassucs: specify the race of the perps is very politically incorrect and most likely will result in a torrent of outrage by those you've offended.
With all the gangbanger crap from So Cali and all the illegals/donkeys/low level drug magnates floating around Vegas, run of the mill criminals should just beware. If you're committing a crime - be it your first or 100th - you deserve to be shot in the front, back and sides. Sure, you can get a trial by jury of your peers if you survive, but during that crime you throw your fate into your victim's hands and I wish EVERY victim with the means to would fight back and give it right back.
I can overlook the alleged corruption at LVMPD in a way given the greater than normal volume of bottom of society's barrel they have to deal with. I say give them more leash and get rid of this crap. Throw in some Arpaio tactics and get rid of this crap and get our town back.
My job has me in Phoenix 6 months out of the year and I have to say that there the crap takes out the crap and leaves the regular folk alone for the most part. They have their pockets of crime and bad neighborhoods, but the bangers and illegals pretty much stick to those areas and do harm upon their own rather than venture out into the rest of the normal community and wreak havoc there. Social darwinism at its finest.
A lot of comments removed here by staff...I can imagine.
meant: specifying not specify. I want to keep Doc_ on his/her leash.
haha.
typical liberal "soft on crime" statement.
completely in denial about how they are soft on crime, then turning to that worn out "republicans are to blame for the economy" nonsense.
will you still be saying that in 2011 when obamao is up for re-election?
Why do Repubes always try to turn everything into a political agenda?
If they don't give this officer a full police funeral... then LVMPD is a travesty for providing one for those that committed misconduct by speeding and causing their own deaths.
If the Dems are smart, they'll dump Big Ears for Hillary. At least she's got a set.
Have we no mercy?
The slain police officer was a hero. He served his country with the United States Marines. He served his community with the Metro Police Department.
He was gunned down at his own home by gang members who have no value for human life.
We need to step up our advancement against gangs in the valley and harness the demons of evil.
Remember slain (executed) Metro Police Sergeant Henry Prendes?
http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/prende...
fosimmons, did somebody forget their meds today?
Did these common thugs really think they were going to get away with this? When I read the deceased had shot one of the perps I knew he wouldn't have died in vain. Everyone knows when you show up at a hospital, any hospital, especially one where they take care of everyone who can't pay their hospital bills, with a gunshot they report it to police immediately. It was just a matter of time until the rest of them were found. The bonds theses perps think they have with their friends, thinking they won't be ratted out, is an illusion. These idiot robbers are out for themselves when all the chips are down.
I meant "a pair."
I though high school sports was supposed to build "character."
"A goon with a ball"
fosimmons, I have been advocating stock and pillory for some time now, Only to be told that I was too hard on the poor S.O.B's. These animals don't care enough because the worst that can happen is a trip jail to prop up their street credit. Public caning would do wonders for a lot of these punk a$$es!
Sorry, Trip to jail propping up their street cred!
I grew up in the same small town and attended school with Trevor for 10 years. Can everyone please remember there are real people out here, his wife and babies included, that are grieving the loss of a man who lived with integrity, respect and courage. It is a tragedy that he is gone and even more so that it was at the hands of cowardly, gun toting idiots. Violence begets violence for sure, but I was raised to believe that you protect your family no matter what...and he died doing just that. The fact that he was a former Marine and a Police Officer adds to the sensationalism I am sure, but in my opinion, it only proves his character. Please pray for those who are hit closer to home than a discussion forum, there is tremendous loss being felt right now and there are victims beyond Trevor that now have to find a way to continue on living.
sunny- wrong again (as most libs are)
From the RJ-
"The male adult suspects in custody have gang affiliations and one lives on a street near the slain officer's house, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
Marshall, reported to be a junior at Mojave High School, was a starting guard last season on a varsity basketball team that went 17-9. The Rattlers lost in the Sunset Region quarterfinals.
Williams, last known to attend Rancho High School, was arrested in 2008 on charges of possession of a stolen firearm and carrying a concealed weapon. According to his arrest report, he had tried to flee from officers. When officers caught him, they found a .32 caliber handgun near him that had been stolen from a Henderson residence. Williams told police he needed the gun for "protection" and had bought it for $80, according to the report.
He pleaded guilty to attempting to carry a concealed firearm and was given probation. Williams later violated that probation and was sentenced on June 22 to six months in jail, with 35 days credit for time served."
Way to go, bleeding hearts. Those 6 months really turned his life around. Maybe he got his GED while in custody. Maybe he can get a job with ACORN when he gets out on parole or act as security for Chairman Obama.
washingtonsunshine, Your right! My statement was to the fact that if they will shoot down an officer in his own home, What'next?
Godspeed Officer Nettleton.
As for the 3 vermin it is unfortunate he didn't get to take all three of you with him to the hereafter.
In china this scum would have been executed yesterday ...
What scum they look like, hope they rot in jail or better yet, hope someone really takes care of them in jail by beating the crap out of them!!
Semper Fi Marine!!!
The Metro family has had a very tough year. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Probably Road Rage. Something happened, they followed him home, confronted the officer, open fire on him, he fired back too late.
The random robbery deal is not likely. The kid lived around the corner. This is a rage crime.
geen: are you refuting that Democrats with their "fiel good" mentality are not soft on violent crime? Afterall, its always someone else's fault.
****************************************************
Regardless of your party preference, you're that lame that you have to use someone's tragic and violent DEATH to publicize your political opinion? That's the way someone chooses to represent their political party?
P.S. My apologies to the Sun Staff about the earlier comment. I was just way too disgusted to hold back.
I wouldent be suprized if the burglary rate in that area will go down now, that those guy's or injail! I bet more then likely they had alot to do with some of those houses beeing broken into,that's probley how they got the gun they used to shoot the cop with.One other thing I heard on news they called the shooter a coward.I wouldent use that term I would call them young punks.A coward is to scary to kill someone let alone try and rob sombody,these guy's were punks!
I have issues with the cops in this town and the policies the police department makes but those are totally irrelevant to this discussion, which is about a man who had his life taken away just a few feet from his family. What a waste. Hope they throw the book at these little jerks.
Peace to his family and sweet kids.
<3
These fools are most likely uneducated, unwanted, unemployed, just mutts like the rest of the crimnals in and out of the system. I believe death would be too good for them, something painful and long lasting is in order. They should be charged with a hate crime along with the murder. You all know if it was turned around that is how it would be played out. All the dam fool Al Sharpton wantabees would be crying racial crime.
@caliguy If you say they should be lynched then I would say it was good with they did to the man,but i'm not going to stoop to your level of stupidty.With that said these guy's will get what's due to them thru the court system,weither it be death or life in prison...And this was not a race crime it was a crime of oppurntuntiy!!
How do you know it wasn't a race crime? Have you talked the the suspects? I didn't think so... don't presume to know things you have no clue about.
One pack of dogs barks at another.
how do I know it wasent a race crime cuzz I know what you know, if you read the article it was a robery gone bad!And most black people dont go around killing white people for nothing expressly black gang members they would much rather spend there time shooting at rival gang members,thats if they just wanted to shoot someone, you dont get points for killing ramdom people when you live the gang life style.Look the point is this stop trying to make it a race issue cuzz it's not if it was trust that charged would be also added you know like I know, the police will try to pile up the most charges possible so they can make sure these dummy's will never see the light of day again...
I have a question if the murder happend in north las vegas, why were they booked in the clark county detention center?
@caliguy Since your so tuff why dont you go lynch em internet tuff guy...I bet you would be begging the gurads to roll you up.I bet money you wont go to the west side with all that lynch em talk.
I've been told by law inforcement that there have been several robberies where a person has pulled into their garage and been surprised by someone that came in behind them. Most people are concentrating on pulling in far enought to get the door shut and are'nt looking behind. They also let their guard down because they're home. Officer Nettleton was probably targeted by the punk down the street because he came home every night about the same time and it was late and dark outside. The point of this post is to make people aware of what could happen if your not careful. Don't pull into your garage or park and get out of your car if there are stangers walking by or standing around. Drive around the block until they leave. Close the garage door immediately with the remote in the car as soon as possible. If you have trouble parking because you have a short garage, hang a tenis ball from a string so it touches your windshield when your in far enough.
I carry a gun everywhere I go in Las Vegas and I feel that it offers some protection. It offers no protection if you don't pay attention to your surroundings and find yourself looking down the barrle of a gun.
I feel so sad that Vegas has so much crime. We live in NJ and bought a condo in Vegas, and just can't believe the crime is so high. I love Vegas!!!!
I hope the state will come up with some kind of new
idea to fight crime. This killing of innocent people has to stop!!! God help Vegas and the police!
