SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 5, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices (ECDs) released the following NEWS ALERT:
According to reports from The Las Vegas Review-Journal, police responded to 911 calls at an apartment complex in Las Vegas on April 3, 2008 due to a man threatening another man with a baseball bat. When an officer arrived, neighbors told police that the man was previously fighting with a woman and then turned on another man who was defending the woman.
When the police found the man, he was carrying a bat and was ordered to get on the ground. The man did not comply with the officers' request and started to approach a resident. An officer then shot the man in the lower leg. When the gunshot did not stop the man, the officers deployed a TASER(r) electronic control device.
"After being shot, the suspect then got to his feet again, at which point he continued his attack, at which time he was tasered by other officers. The man was subdued after being hit by TASER (ECDs)," said Las Vegas police Capt. Randy Montandon.
