LAS VEGAS (AP) —Police said a suspect was found dead Wednesday after officers responded to an active shooter and reports of multiple victims at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas sheriff later said there was no further threat in the shooting at the university and that victims have been taken to a hospital.
It wasn't immediately clear how many people were shot or their conditions.
The university has more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at its 332-acre campus less than two miles east of the Las Vegas Strip.
The shooting occurred in a city still scarred by one of the worst mass killings in US history, the October 1, 2017, mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas, in which 60 were killed and hundreds more wounded.
