When police arrived they believed they heard a gunshot when approaching a home.
Channel 13 spoke with Brandon Cruz after he waited an hour to get back inside his apartment complex on Patrick Lane.
"I've only been here for a year but even hearing that being in this complex which is a really nice area too, so it was kinda upsetting to hear that," said Cruz.
According to LVMPD, police tried to talk to the armed man when he started to point his gun at a group of officers. Officers gave the man verbal commands but the man did not listen, police said.
Another nearby officer witnessing the scene shot the armed man. They took him into custody and he was taken to a local area hospital.
