Las Vegas Metropolitan Detective Lance Spiotto has been to the West Flamingo Animal Hospital before but he won’t forget what happened this week.
After witnessing a robbery inside the hospital, Spiotto pulled his weapon and then got into the fight for his life.
Law Officer Author Randy Sutton retired with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
Sutton stated, “this officer could’ve died within a heartbeat. He showed his courage, he showed his skill and he showed his heart by getting in this fight, literally, to the death. The fact that on Christmas of 2016, we are not facing the death of another police officer is something to be celebrated.”
Detective Spiotto is currently assigned to the LVMPD Investigative Services Division, Homicide and Sex Crimes Bureau, and has been placed on routine paid administrative leave pending the outcome of a review of this incident.
