Las Vegas police spokeswoman Carla Alston confirmed that a Las Vegas police officer was involved in the 9 a.m. Monday incident. She says Henderson police are handling the investigation.

Clark County Sheriff Douglas Gillespie has scheduled a 2:30 p.m. news conference in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Sun reports police and firefighters were on the scene at a quiet street south of King Elementary School and east of the Boulder City Hospital.
