It’s standing room only here in #NorthLasVegas, where @NLVPD is holding its quarterly “Community Connection” meeting. Officers are speaking on traffic tonight, but many people thought they’d address the area’s recent shootings. #8NN @8NewsNow

Here’s the original post about tonight’s event. Officers say it’s generic and they send out ahead of every community meeting, but it does mention “crime statistics & trends.” This made some think they’d address the shootings, so they made a statement regarding crime at the start

The department added a subsequent Facebook post to make it clear tonight’s meeting focuses on traffic issues only. #8NN
