Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The Clark County District Attorney has cleared police officers in three more shootings.

The fatal shootings all took place in the beginning part of last year.

The first took place in February. Police say that Tory Manvilla, a burglary suspect, forced his way into a home with a knife.

When police arrived, Manvilla allegedly came at them.

The next incident took place a few days later when Jamie Padilla was shot near Grand Teton and U.S. 95 after he tried to force his way into several apartments in the area.

The report says that Padilla fired at responding officers first.

In the third shooting in March of last year, police say that Mauricio Hernandez shot someone before going into a bar near Nellis Boulevard and East Lake Mead Parkway.

Hernandez reportedly pulled out a gun and pointed it at a police officer. The officer then shot him.
