Texas, Nevada Police Shootings Under Investigation

Two separate fatal officer-involved shootings are under investigation in Texas and Nevada. In New Braunfels, Texas, police shot and killed a 33-year-old man who allegedly lunged at officers with a knife during a domestic disturbance, and the officers involved have been placed on administrative leave pending investigation. In Henderson, Nevada, police released body camera footage of a June 26 SWAT operation in which 71-year-old Bruce Ayer was fatally shot after allegedly pointing a gun-like object at officers while they executed a search warrant related to golf course burglaries. The object Ayer brandished was later determined to be a replica designed to resemble a real handgun. Both incidents remain under official investigation, with findings to be reviewed by the appropriate authorities. No officers were injured in either incident.
