Shot officer was targeted at Vegas protest, authorities say

A prosecutor said Friday a 20-year-old Las Vegas man deliberately shot and gravely wounded a police officer during a Las Vegas Strip protest of the death George Floyd in Minneapolis, and said the man fired at least two other shots that night. Justice of the Peace Melanie Andress-Tobiasson cited her review of police video that hasn’t been made public yet in the attempted murder, battery and firearms case against Edgar Samaniego. Prosecutor Giancarlo Pesci said the footage provides “visual evidence of the actual act.”
