the valley and will do so in the overnight hours so impacts will be negligible, but it temperatures cooler, expect highs in the upper 50s sunday and monday with another weak, right now winds don't look too into the mid 60s by thursday and friday. action news meteorologist carlo falco will continue to following breaking developments overnight.. and bring you complete updates on good morning las vegas.. starting at 5am. we'll also check in with bryan again in a few minutes. tonight.. an update on the school district police department's dirty secret. contact 13 chief investigator darcy spears first reported on how a ccsd cop.. caught masturbating at a middle school.. got promoted while under an internal investigation. she's here now with more allegations of misconduct. darcy lead: we've spoken to numerous sources on this story. all of them say police officials are covering for an out of control cop, painting a picture of a department where police protect their own. ccsd police sergeant mitch maciszak led the investigation of custodian michael skelton, who was caught masturbating

dondero elementary school. ironically, contact 13 learned maciszak had a similar background. he himself was caught by a fellow officer--masturbating to pornography on his computer at garside middle school a number of years ago. no one spoke out about it until sources say it became impossible to ignore. internal affairs opened a case in 2012. investigators learned maciszak had allegedly engaged in sexual activity with another department employee-- in his assigned school district vehicle and his office at school police headquarters. his behavior at a 2010 police officers association christmas party also raised eyebrows. 17:33 ia investigator: and that you saw det. maciscak, who you felt was obviously intoxicated, taking his camera phone, sticking it up women's skirts and taking pictures up their skirts? mike: yes.

was out of control was an understatement. darcy tag: when we asked maciszak about the masturbation and pornography incident at garside, his captain, who was supervising the interview, abruptly cut us off. district officials refused to go on camera saying this is a personnel matter. but they confirmed action was taken after an administrative investigation. darcy spears, channel 13 action news. we're staying on top of breaking news on the las vegas strip. gunshots ring-out on a packed friday night in front of the bellagio.. during the fountain show. we'll take you back live to the scene as metro investigates exactly what happened. plus... setting their sights.... on women. how ladies are transforming the gun industry... one clip at a time stay with us.. we're staying on top of

exceptionally difficult for an officer. i talked about that tonight with retired metro lieutenant.. and action news crime and safety expert randy sutton. he says metro officers train extensively on how to stop a threat.. while being aware of what else is in the direction of their gunfire.

trained extensively on any collateral damage.. and they want to minimize or eliminate it if at all possible.. so if they're using their weapon in the heat of the moment.. it's of utmost importance.") lt. never have to face a situation like careers.. but they still train for it on a regular basis. be sure to stay with action news for any new developments on this breaking news story. you can also get updates shooting.... hunting and outdoor trade show.... at the sands expo. but... this year... it's not all about guns... how the gun industry is cashing in.... on women. it's what you would expect any gun trade show to look like-- filled with guns, men---

whole show is becoming female friendly and it's really exciting> the shot show-- is just one example of where the gun industry is now aiming. nats showing gun tami tripolli just bought her first gun this week. tami tripolli, bought first gun :21-:26 majority of women are like tami-- a new report shows 26 percent of women are packing heat for self defense-- a smart idea according to nye county sheriff's sergeant alan schrimph :42-:47 "if i'm farther away i can only get there so fast..you you're self can't tell the bad guy to stop..and we're seeing that more and more with women" but a growing group of women are now shooting as a sport-- jana waller currently has two prime time hunting shows--she says gun companies are cashing in on women. 1:05-1:09

and.. some incredible video out of tyler texas tonight. a school security camera was rolling when a bolt of lightning strikes a tree. luckily, no one was hurt. a dying cold front is continuing to push through california but will get hung up in the sierra dropping the majority of its moisture in the mountains. that leaves high clouds for las vegas tonight and tomorrow which will slowly thicken throughout the overnight hours tonight and throughout the day saturday meaning mostly cloudy skies to start the weekend. temperatures will be warmer than the last couple days as some pre-frontal winds kick highs into the low 60s but winds won't be a big issue. a gust to 20 or so is possible but that's about it. the bigger story will be the shot for rain showers saturday night into early sunday morning as the trailing edge of the cold front drags through

rain showers will be very light and won't drop more than a couple hundredths of an inch in the valley and will do so in the overnight hours so impacts will be negligible, but it could affect some late night plans. skies clear out for sunday with colder air aloft keeping temperatures cooler, expect highs in the upper 50s sunday and monday with another weak, dry, system moving through the area monday bringing some more high clouds. dynamics with that system are weak so it'll mostly be a wind producer especially late monday into tuesday when winds will be the strongest. right now winds don't look too crazy, just a few gusts to about 20 or 25mph in the valley but the colorado river valley could see gusts in excess of 40mph on tuesday. later in the week high pressure takes over with clear skies and temperatures quickly increasing into the mid 60s by thursday and friday. still ahead.. live at 11..
