How they died
Deadly force
Police heard that a man was attempting to start trees and cars on fire in northeast Las Vegas. Police found Joshua Squires, who took off running, and an officer took off in foot pursuit. As the man fled he pulled out what appeared to be a black handgun and turned and pointed it at the officer. Squires then fled to a residence in the Storeyville Manufactured Home Community where he reportedly held his mother hostage. Squires would not surrender. Police entered the mobile home and Squires again pointed the firearm at police. At least one officer shot and killed Squires. The handgun turned out to be a fake gun.
