LAS VEGAS — A shooting Monday at a law office in the affluent Summerlin neighborhood of Las Vegas left three people dead, including the shooter, police said.
Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference that investigators believe the shooter killed himself.
“I want to make sure our community understands there is no longer a threat,” he said.
McMahill said the victims were a man and a woman. The names of the dead have not been released.
According to McMahill, the shooting was reported shortly after 10 a.m. at a law office located on the fifth floor of a mid-rise office building in the planned community. He did not say whether the shooter knew the victims or whether the victims were employees of the law firm.
The sheriff said officers were still working to clear the building and evacuate people sheltering there, while investigators searched the shooter’s vehicle in the office building parking lot.
Summerlin stretches about 13 miles along the western edge of the city, about 30 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip.
