👮‍♂️ LVMPD Officers Lauded for Heroic Measures in UNLV Campus Emergency

Two officers, Jacob Noriega and Ty Vesperas, were commended on Thursday for their heroic actions during a fatal shooting at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV) on December 6. The incident claimed the lives of three professors, Dr. Jerry Cha-Jan Chang, Dr. Patricia Navarro Velez, and Dr. Naoko Takemaru, and left a fourth professor injured.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) South Central Area Command officers located the injured victim emerging from Beam Hall. They implemented "stop the bleed" training techniques, a critical part of LVMPD's emergency response training. The officers used their first aid kits to apply a tourniquet to the victim and swiftly transported him to safety. Officer Jacob Noriega was noted for his efforts in controlling the bleeding by applying continuous pressure while Officer Ty Vesperas drove to a secure location for paramedics to take over.

Reggie Rader, Deputy Chief for LVMPD, highlighted the importance of immediate action in such situations and praised the officers' quick shift from addressing the threat to providing first aid. Officer Vesperas expressed gratitude for the department's extensive training and acknowledged the swift response of his colleagues at South Central Area Command.

🏒 Vegas Golden Knights Rebound with Disciplined Win Against the Islanders

The Vegas Golden Knights achieved a crucial 3-2 road victory against the New York Islanders, breaking their seven-game losing streak away from T-Mobile Arena. This win was notable not just for goaltender Adin Hill's return but also for the team's improved play. The Knights demonstrated better puck management, discipline, and defensive strategy, keeping most shots to the perimeter and maintaining a clear net front.

The Knights (28-14-6) aim to continue this successful approach in their final two games before the All-Star break, facing the New York Rangers and the Detroit Red Wings. The victory over the Islanders was especially significant, as right wing Jonathan Marchessault highlighted the team's previous dissatisfaction with their road performance.

There's optimism for a potential winning streak on the road, with the next game not until February 6, giving injured players a chance to recover. One such player, right wing Michael Amadio, may return as early as the next game. Hill's comeback was a major boost; he led in goaltender stats and made 41 saves against the Islanders.

The Knights hope to replicate their disciplined play in upcoming games, especially with key offensive players injured. After a disappointing loss to the New Jersey Devils, coach Cassidy emphasized the need for smarter, cleaner hockey, a message that seemed to resonate with the team in their win against the Islanders.
