Hello, I wanted to see how many police involved shootings there are in other countries and other states.
I know sometimes it is necessary for a police officer to fire his weapon, but have there been more incidents than needed?
I live near Nellis where this one happened, I think there was three shootings in seven days and the criminals are not always armed.

It was at a "Circle K" convenience store and there were 5 police officers waiting for him as he was leaving the store.
your thoughts?
thanks,

Officer Involved Shooting
LAS VEGAS, NV--
For the 19th time this year, police officers in Las Vegas have opened fire on a suspect.
The shooting happened Sunday night at Sahara and Nellis as a man wanted for questioning in a domestic case stepped out of a gas station convenience store.
Police say the suspect reached for a weapon, forcing them to open fire.
All of the officers involved are now on paid administrative leave as the department investigates.
In all, metro is investigating 20 officer involved shootings- 19 of those incidents involved metro officers.
