A suspect was shot by police and detained on the tarmac of McCarran Airport in Las Vegas.Officers were alerted around 3:30 a.m. to a door alarm at Terminal 3 but did not immediately find anyone because the man went out onto the tarmac, the captain told reporters.
He was found a short time later at Terminal 1, and officers attempted to escort him back to an area where the public is allowed. Splinter said the man started attacking the officers and knocked one unconscious. A second officer attempted to use"less than lethal means to safely deescalate the situation" and was also attacked by the man, Splinter told reporters. The man also tried to attack a third officer, who fired two rounds, striking him.
It's unclear how the man was able to get onto the tarmac. His current condition is unknown. The officer who was knocked unconscious was also treated at a hospital.Minyvonne Burke is a breaking news reporter for NBC News.Andrew Blankstein is an investigative reporter for NBC News.
