Last Sunday in the early morning hours at McCarran International Airport, an unruly/unstable person caused a major disturbance.
Passengers mistook banging for gunshots and tens of thousands of people panicked and fled. They ran thru secure checkpoints and everywhere else they could.
LVMPD’s Airport Bureau Graveyard squad was on the scene within seconds to address the alleged active shooter. Once they determined the shooting to be unfounded they quickly transitioned to re-establishing calm and order.
The flight delays took a day to resolve. Our officers response to a potential active shooter was swift and deliberate. Job well done.

Today we honor Police Officer Clark Anthony Wooldridge, who died on this day in 1979.
Officer Wooldridge joined the LVMPD in August 1978. While responding to a fight and accident call on August 14, 1979, he was involved in a collision. He was pinned underneath the overturned vehicle and subsequently died at the hospital. The fight and accident call that led to this officer’s untimely death turned out to be a false alarm.
Officer Wooldridge was only 22 years old when he died and was survived by his wife of less than two years.

Yesterday evening, a violent criminal terrorized our community. He shot at police officers and civilians alike. He led police on a chase throughout the valley. It was ended when a K-9 officer sacrificed his safety to stop the suspects actions.
Our K-9 officer is recovering at the hospital. The LVPPA is on scene with our officers who were involved in the shooting and will support them through the process.
Thank you to those brave men and women who hang it on the line every day to protect the people of this community.
