The Las Vegas police officer shot in the head while attempting to disperse a group of protesters on the Strip last week will likely remain on a ventilator for the rest of his life, his family said Tuesday. The family of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Shay Mikalonis, 29, gave an update on his condition in a statement released through the department. "Shay is on a ventilator and will be for the foreseeable future or perhaps the rest of his life," the statement said. The family said Mikalonis is still listed in critical condition in a trauma unit at the University Medical Center in Las Vegas. The shooting occurred on the same night Las Vegas police shot an armed man who appeared to be wearing body armor near a courthouse.
