Male with gun closes down I-15 in both instructions in main Las Vegas valley


LAS VEGAS (BNN) - - A person waving a firearm near the I-15 caused the highway to close in both directions Sunday afternoon, Las Vegas Metropolitan authorities said.

Around 3:35 p.m., officers reacted to reports of an individual brandishing a firearm in the 200 block of South Martin Luther King Boulevard near the I-15.

As a safety measure, police halted traffic on the I-15 in both instructions as they set up containment near Symphony Park and the I-15.

The suspect was taken into custody without incident and the I-15 was resumed around 5 p.m. No one was hurt during the event, authorities said.
