Deadly force
During the demonstrations against police violence after the death of George Flynn, at approximately 11:22 p.m., officers encountered Jorge Antonio Gomez, an open carry enthusiast with a rifle and a holstered pistol on his belt, which is legal in the state of Nevada. An officer who thought Gomez was carrying a baseball bat (not a rifle) shot Gomez with several non-lethal rounds. Gomez took off running, and several police officers who were searching for someone who'd shot a police officer earlier in the night saw Gomez and shot and killed him.
