Christmas display celebrates Nevada law enforcement
When retired Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Scott McDaniel learned about the late Sunday shooting of a Douglas County Sheriff's sergeant, he was compelled to design, build and put up a Christmas decoration that celebrates his fellow Nevada law enforcement officers.
The Back the Blue decoration is located on Bowers Lane, just off of Arrowhead Drive. You can drive by and see the decoration lit up both daytime and at night.
DCSO Sgt. John Lenz is recovering from the incident that happened Sunday night in Gardnerville, after being shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the face.
Both shots to his chest were stopped by his body armor and one shot was to the left side of his face in his cheek. Two were immediately taken into custody.
