#BREAKING: We just got on the scene of an officer involved shooting at the Nevada/California border, according to police sources.
Sources tell us a man murdered his mother in California. Officers then reportedly chased him here, where he killed himself. @8NewsNow #8NN
It’s hard to tell in the dark, but SB I-15 (toward California) is open. NB I-15 (toward Vegas) is closed as authorities investigate. @8NewsNow #8NN
We’re told @sbcountysheriff is leading this investigation, with @NHPSouthernComm assisting. We’re expecting a briefing at some point tonight. @8NewsNow #8NN
#UPDATE: Sources say the suspect allegedly killed his mother, who was a corrections officer, then dismembered her in California.
The @sbcountysheriff deputy who was involved in the shooting involving that suspect is okay. @8NewsNow #8NN
#DETOUR: Deputies tell us anyone coming into #LasVegas from California will have to exit I-15 at Nipton Road, then take that to #Searchlight. That should take you into the valley on the US 95. @8NewsNow #8NN
#UPDATE: It looks like investigators are now inspecting the car involved, as of 1:13 am. We’re expecting a briefing once this process wraps up. @8NewsNow #8NN
