On this week’s Friday News Roundup, we lay out all the details from a Henderson police barricade situation that resulted in the suspect deceased and the front of a home ripped away. Also, Assemblywoman Danielle Gallant gets a policy she voted for wrong and issues an apology after receiving backlash in videos posted to social media. Lastly, National park rangers are asking the public to help identify two men videoed pushing over ancient rock formations at Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Dayvid Figler is joined by his co-host Sarah Lohman and local policy wonk and communications lead at Battle Born Progress Jacob Solis.

Also, a few announcements: Make sure to tune in on Monday, April 22nd for the launch of our new series, Mayoral Mondays. We kick things off with a conversation with Channel 13’s senior political reporter Steve Sebelius on why this mayoral race is important to everyone in the Valley, even if you can’t vote on the position. After that, we have interviews with the candidates airing every Monday until the election.

As of this weekend, we’re airing our Friday News Roundups on KUNV (91.5 FM) on Sunday mornings at 6 a.m. So if you are tuning in for the first time welcome! We discuss the week’s top news every Friday in addition to daily episodes and newsletters Monday through Friday. You can learn more at lasvegas.citycast.fm.
