Two officers were injured over the weekend, after being shot with a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officer’s own gun, while they attempted to take an suspect into custody inside an EDM concert at Allegiant Stadium.

According to police, at approximately 1:33 a.m. LVMPD special events officers attempted to arrest Lyndon Truong, 28, after witnessing the man assault a stadium security guard. After chasing the man, police attempted to arrest him but the suspect was not compliant, and the officers struggled to get handcuffs on his wrists. Our sources tell us that like many of the attendees at the Illenium “concert” the guy appeared to be high out of his mind on a number of drugs.

While attempting to take Truong to a security holding cell, Truong slipped a finger into one of the officers holster and fired a single shot, hitting one officer in the leg and sending shrapnel into another officer. Both officers are expected to make a full recovery.
