During a recent public review of evidence, Las Vegas police played body camera footage of a September 2022 shooting. The video captured the gut-wrenching moment when Officer Tierney Tomburo was shot and wounded during a pre-dawn traffic stop. Tomburo immediately fell to the ground but returned fire, fatally striking the suspect who had taken off on foot. Tomburo’s partner rushed to her side to apply a tourniquet while Tomburo shouted for help into her radio, and her body camera captured the dark sky. Fortunately, the Clark County district attorney’s office recently declared that Tomburo was justified in her use of force and will not face any charges in connection with the shooting. The suspect, Gabriel Charles, would have faced various felony charges if he had survived. The incident occurred near the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, campus when Tomburo and her partner stopped an SUV with a burnt-out headlight. As they asked the three men inside to exit the vehicle because the driver had no license, Charles exited the SUV, walked slowly behind it before suddenly running away. Tomburo gave chase, and within moments, Charles fired at least one shot, hitting Tomburo in her left leg and breaking her pelvis. Her partner was handcuffing one of the other two men when the shots were fired. The lapel videos show based on the footage that the officers acted appropriately under the circumstances, and Tomburo’s partner provided life-saving aid.
