(Las Vegas) Fourteen people were shot before dawn Saturday morning in a shisha lounge in Las Vegas. Police said one man was dead and two of those hit by the gunshots were seriously injured.
Posted at 4:37 p.m.
The shooting took place around 3:15 a.m. Preliminary information indicated that there was a party during which two people argued and exchanged gunfire, hitting several people, said the police captain Dori Koren.
He told reporters that no arrests had been made and no description of a suspect was immediately available, but authorities did not believe there was a danger to the public.
Police attended the scene of the shooting after receiving multiple 911 calls, Koren said.
The officers secured the scene and rescued the victims, including putting on tourniquets and performing resuscitation maneuvers, said the police captain.
Investigators were trying to determine the types of firearms used in the shooting.
“It’s a pretty big stage, so it’s going to take a while to walk through the whole stage,” Mr. Koren explained.
“We don’t know exactly what type of weapon was used or exactly if there were two shooters. We believe there was an exchange of gunfire, but we are still reviewing all information. »
The medical aid provided to the victims by the first officers on the scene “certainly had an importance in this case”, said the captain.
