A rock from a slingshot flew through the taxi driver's open window and hit him in the face while he was at a red light.

LAS VEGAS - A taxi driver continues to recover after a rock from a slingshot flew through his open window and hit him in the face while he was driving passengers on the Las Vegas Strip.

Police say Teginge was hit in the face by a rock from a slingshot. The taxi driver was taking customers to Treasure Island around 11:45 p.m. and stopped at a light on Las Vegas Boulevard to turn into the resort. “My dad’s a really independent man, but this past month, trying to help someone who’s so independent after they’ve been dealing with something like this is very difficult,” she said.

Family Seeks Answers After Police Kill Texas Man on His Own PorchThe family of an Austin, Texas, man is seeking answers after he was fatally shot by police last month on his front porch following a late-night emergency call by a neighbor. Video and audio released Thursday show officers arriving Nov. 15 and telling Rajan Moonesinghe to drop the AR-15-style weapon he was holding before firing at him. Officers were responding to a 911 call requesting police and mental health support because a man had a long gun outside in the residential neighborhood. Moonesinghe’s brother said police “shot first and asked questions later” and asked city officials to hold police accountable. Good fucking grief!! The answer is do what the police tell you to do, when they tell you to do it, and these sad endings can be avoided. Why didn’t this man drop his weapon Did he have hearing issues? Was his eyesight poor? Why did he not drop his weapon?
