LAS VEGAS -- Six months after a Gulf War veteran was shot and killed by Metro Police, his widow held a vigil in his honor. Rhonda Gibson said her husband had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and suffered from anxiety.

Metro Police did admit a non-lethal approach should have been used in this case but wasn't.

Rhonda Gibson spent Tuesday, in near triple-digit heat, sitting next to her husband's grave and reflecting.

"He didn't deserve to be shot in the head seven times. Seven times in the back of the head. Can you give me a reason why that happened?"

Stanley Gibson was killed by Metro officers six months ago. Police said, they were responding to an attempted break in, and Gibson's vehicle matched the description so the suspect's vehicle. Gibson was shot when he didn't follow police commands.

"I am doing it for my husband and doing it for the other families so they can see justice too," Gibson said.
