A 21-year-old man fatally shot by Las Vegas police officers last week may have been impaired and grabbed a gun before pointing and firing it at officers in an apparent suicide-by-cop incident captured on police body camera footage, authorities said Monday. The incident happened following a three-car collision at Rainbow Boulevard and Gary Avenue just after 7 a.m. on Oct. 10, Las Vegas Metro Police Asst. Sheriff Tim Kelly said. When LVMPD traffic Officer Kenneth Pillette and Officer Chad Betts arrived, two of the drivers said the third driver, suspect 21-year-old Kenneth Busse, appeared to be impaired. When Busse was asked by Betts to take a field sobriety test, Busse refused, run to a nearby bush and picked up a firearm he left there prior to officers arriving on the scene, Kelly said.
Busse pointed the gun at Betts and fired a round at the officer, which jammed in the chamber, preventing him from firing more shots, Kelly said. Pillette, a 20-year veteran of the department, and Betts, a 19-year officer, fired a total of six return shots at Busse, striking Busse in the chest. Busse was pronounced dead at the scene. Kelly said further investigation showed Busse was suicidal, had made suicidal comments in the past and exhibited suicidal signs on the day of the shooting. The shooting was the 20th officer involved shooting for LVMPD in 2018 and the 10th fatal shooting incident.

That was the most nonchalant gunfight ever
This shot with pen and gun on hand lol
Its sad he wanted to die and didn't care smh society is failing today's youngsters
That was a special kind of berry bush
Dropped like a sack of potatoes 💀
The 2nd cop probably didn't want to lose his good pen.
Drop the pen and all the other bullshit in your hands. That's why you missed every single shot. Proof of insurance and registration can be replaced.
Guy "swear to God on my life"….. God "you called🙋".
Damn had he just taken the DUI charge dude would still have his life and the cops probably would not have found that gun
Woah! This is cool!
Why even go for the gun and lose your life? It's a fucking dui not a life sentence..
L
i stopped getting in pyhysical conftontations in my early 20s cuz win or lose i dont like waking up sore. but that dude coulda been tackled easily id think.
Cop with a gun and pen in his hand needs some serious training.
There's a rifle behind every blade of grass…

The old pen in hand grip shooting technique

Poor guys.

Oh looky that. White guy gets shot too for having a gun. Hmm wonder why😒
Rip
Was the second cop missing his left arm? WTF?
You know the guy could have got off with a misdemeanor but instead he had to grab a gun and get shot dead.
Worst policing ever! You let him run behind a bush to grab something apparently you got a report of him throwing something out his truck.. one officer runs away instead of drawing his gun, the other officer shooting first, shoots with a fucken pen in his right hand like he's some bad ass but can't aim for shit.. drop the fucken pen and notepad officer and fucken aim!!
He actually did not lie lol cop said people saw him toss something on to another truck. He denies this and says "I swear to God…" he was telling the truth. He didn't toss it in another truck he tossed it in the bush lmao
1:53 just drop the goddamn pen please
Why even go for the gun and lose your life? It's a fucking dui not a life sentence..
