James McCarty, 54, will be transported from the UMC Trauma Center to the Clark County Detention Center after recovering from what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Metro responded to a call of possible shots fired in the 2200 block of La Sombra Street. According to a news release from Metro, arriving patrol officers observed a considerable amount of what appeared to be blood on the back patio of the home as well as what appeared to be bullet holes in a window.
