LAS VEGAS » Bail has been set at $95,000 for a man accused of shooting at a ‘Pokemon Go’ player he was allegedly trying to rob in a Las Vegas park.
A judge also appointed the public defender’s office on Tuesday to represent 18-year-old Elvis Campos.
Campos faces felony charges of attempted murder, conspiracy, robbery, battery and assault with a deadly weapon.
Police say Campos demanded items before dawn Monday from several people playing the popular smartphone game.
One player who police say had a concealed weapons permit drew his own gun and exchanged fire with Campos.
Police haven’t said who fired first or how many shots were fired.
The public defender’s office said a lawyer would be named soon for Campos but that no one could comment until that attorney is selected.

You mean Elvis is still alive in Vegas? Oh, different Elvis.
Too bad this guy lived. Seems like a worthless scumbag to resort to stealing from Pokémon players. Lame.
