The article notes: "We now know the company Battlefield Vegas provided armored vehicles to protect police on 1 October. They tell FOX5 police called them for help during the shooting and they immediately jumped into action. In the 9-1-1 records released by metro, a phone call can be heard from Battlefield Vegas to police. The call is from their operations manager informing the operator they were asked to come by a sergeant. They give a description of their vehicles and their exact location."
The article notes: "The LVMPD requested the assistance of the other three SWAT Teams in Clark County that night; The FBI, Henderson Police and North Las Vegas SWAT Teams. They also requested three armored vehicles from a private company, Battlefield Vegas."
Overall: Article was new enough at time of nomination, and appears well sourced and neutral. Hook is cited and interesting. Earwig not picking up any copyvio besides quotations, and qpq has been provided. BuySomeApples (talk) 15:50, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
