Two Wounded in Shooting Involving Pokemon Go Players in Las Vegas Park

An exchange of gunfire erupted at a park in the eastern valley Monday morning after a man in a vehicle attempted to rob a group of Pokemon Go players, Las Vegas police said. Just after 4 a.m., six people playing Pokemon Go at Freedom Park, near North Pecos Road and East Washington Avenue, were approached by a man in a vehicle who drew a gun on them, demanding money and property, according to Metro. “One of the victims retrieved his own gun and there was an exchange of gunfire,” Metro Lt. David Gordon said. One man in the group was shot once. He was taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, police said. Another man — whom police believe to be the suspect from the vehicle— was dropped off at a hospital with a nonlife-threatening gunshot wound, Gordon said. Detectives are on scene and investigating the incident, Gordon said. No other details were immediately available
