LAS VEGAS - New details have been released about the home invasion and standoff in the northwest part of the Las Vegas valley Thursday.

Metro Police have charged the suspect, 33-year-old Sean Paul Cordeiro with home invasion, burglary, robbery, four counts of kidnapping and attempted sexual assault.

According to the arrest report released Friday, Cordeiro broke down the victim's door at around 5 a.m. A woman and her three children were home alone, because her husband had just left the house to go to work. He told the victim he had a gun and told her he just needed a place to get away from the police.

Cordeiro gathered the kids and the woman in the master bedroom, police said. He told them he would shoot them, if they left the room.

He then took the woman downstairs to get car keys, valuables and her cell phone.

"It is just frustration that our school is going to have so many kids at it," parent Kelli Mendenhall said.

The CCSD school board approved a rezoning plan for 17 schools which means students at several schools, especially in the northwest, will either move to a new school or welcome hundreds of new students.

That is the case at Givens Elementary in Summerlin where Mendenhell's son and daughter attend.
