LAS VEGS -- Metro police are investigating a shooting that injured a Black Friday shopper.

It happened around 9:45 p.m. Thursday. According to police, a man purchased a big-screen television from the Target near Flamingo Rd. and Maryland Pkwy. While he was walking to a nearby apartment complex, a suspect approached and fired a warning shot, causing the victim to drop the television.

Officers tell 8 News NOW the suspect then took the television to a nearby waiting vehicle, where a second suspect was waiting. As the first suspect was loading the television into the vehicle, the victim approached and tried to get the television back. That prompted the suspect to fire several more rounds, shooting the victim in the leg.

The victim was taken to Sunrise Trauma with non-life threatening injuries.

Metro has not released a description on the suspects or their vehicle. An investigation is ongoing.

BS !!!!

If the victim is still alive and could have seen both suspects then they know the description is of the suspects.
Political correctness is keeping the description of the suspects out of the news until they can some how spin this thing.
It's called reverse profiling, non-description of suspects because of race.

The suspect will surface after he sues the victim for pulling out his back while lifting the stolen TV.

The ghettoers don’t steal from the ghetto, they go where the money is.

Actually, shooting innocent shoppers may qualify the thug for a position on the LVPD.

Oh, dear, another son of Obama/Holder doing his Christmas shopping. Notice what the media does not say is glaringly obvious.

Why is this in “Breaking News”?

Does Free Republic use sarcasm tags at all?
