Cop Shot Rescuing Child

"Las Vegas, NV - A man wanted for murder in California and a woman are dead in an apparent murder-suicide after Metro Police responded to a domestic violence call Saturday morning in the northwest valley.

"Authorities said a police officer also was shot in the arm from the second-story window of a home at 6629 Nevada Classic Circle, near Rainbow Boulevard and Alexander Road.

"Police spokesman Jacinto Rivera said a Long Beach, Calif., woman called 911 and said her sister was being battered by a man wanted for murder. After officers arrived, a woman and the man carried an 8-month-old baby out of the home and returned inside. The officer was shot as he retrieved the child, police said.

"Police said the man then apparently shot the woman before shooting himself.

"Police weren't releasing any names Saturday evening. Bodies were removed from the home at about 5:30 p.m. after the coroner responded the scene."
