According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, a male suspect was driving northbound on Hualapai Way south of Town Center Drive with his girlfriend in the passenger seat about 12:30 a.m. The couple began to argue, which escalated when the man pulled out a gun and fired 5 to 6 shots into the air from the moving vehicle, Lt.

It was then that the driver lost control of the car and left the roadway, hitting a tree.
“A nurse who who just got off work and was on her way home stopped to render aid,” Gordon said. “While assisting the occupants, she noticed a handgun in the vehicle. The nurse retrieved the handgun from the vehicle and handed to patrol officers who arrived a short time later.”
The suspect was arrested on scene. No one was seriously injured during the shooting or crash, police said.
