Videos were released Tuesday by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police that show the moment an officer was shot in the leg in an elevator at Allegiant Stadium over the weekend.

The suspect who is believed to be an attendee at a concert that was going on remains in the hospital.

You can hear the gunshot in the body cam video shared with local news outlets. You also hear in the video "He's got his gun. He's got your gun."

It was a scary moment when 28-year-old Lyndon Troung grabbed for an officer's gun, getting his finger on the trigger and firing while it was still in the holster, striking one officer.

"Get him a tourniquet, guys. Get him a tourniquet," you hear someone say in the video.

This happened inside an elevator at the venue as Troung was being escorted to a security holding cell.

Troung was held against a wall while an officer could reposition his handcuffs.

"While this was happening, Mr. Troung reached down with his left hand and grabbed hold the gun that belonged to one of the officers," said Asst. Sheriff Laz Chavez of LVMPD.

That's when police say he was able to insert one of his fingers into the holster and pull the trigger.

"It should be noted that the firearm was never removed from the holster," said Chavez.

The officer who was shot in the leg, as well as another officer hit by shrapnel, have non-life-threatening injuries.

In the meantime, Troung is still at UMC Hospital.

"As far as the condition, I'm not able to go into that," said Chavez. "But his behavior was erratic that night, and personnel UMC determined that he needs to stay at the hospital."

What led up to the shooting incident?

Chavez says it started around 1:30 Sunday morning when the Illenium concert was going on at Allegiant Stadium.

"Special events officers were working, a concert when they saw an Asian male later identified as Troung, push a security officer," he said. "After pushing the security officer Mr. Troung fled the area on foot."

Police say Troung was being non-compliant with officers.

"The officer struggled with him in order to get handcuffs on his wrist," said Chavez. "He was ultimately successfully handcuffed. Mr. Troung continued to resist the officers and became more aggressive towards them."

When asked how Troung got his finger in the gun holster and if this is an equipment issue, this is what Chavez had to say.

“It can very well be an equipment issue," he said. "I spent the morning looking at a number of different holsters and I have the same concerns that everyone in this room has. And we’re going to look at that, make some determinations as to whether or not we need to discontinue the use of some of these holsters."

No other officers fired or deployed any other weapons when this happened.

They held down Troung until medical arrived.
