Las Vegas Police Shoot Man After He Runs Back For Gun

Las Vegas police released footage Tuesday of an officer shooting a naked man outside a southeast valley church last weekend. Police said Jason David Funke, 25, initially complied with officer commands to drop his gun and raise his hands after they responded at about 11 a.m. Saturday to Life Springs Christian Church, 2075 E. Warm Springs Road. Funke then began walking toward a group of officers, Metropolitan Police Department Assistant Sheriff Todd Fasulo said. When he was about 10 feet from the group, the officers told him to get on the ground. Fasulo said Funke took off running from officers toward his gun. Body camera footage shows Funke walking away from officers for a few steps, and then running as a police dog was released and officers started to chase him.
