A suspect was found dead after police responded to reports of a shooting on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas with "multiple victims" on Wednesday.
The university issued a social media alert to "RUN-HIDE-FIGHT" just before noon local time when shots rang out at Beam Hall, home to UNLV's Lee Business School and the Harrah College of Hotel Administration.
Officers also responded to a report of additional shots fired at the student union.
"The suspect has been located and is deceased,” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department posted on X, formerly Twitter, at about 12:30 p.m. “This is an active investigation. Please continue to avoid the area and watch for responding emergency units.”
At a news conference, LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill said "a number" of victims were transported to area hospitals. Their conditions were unknown.
University officials were still urging students and faculty to shelter in place as of mid-afternoon and all University of Nevada campuses were closed as a precaution.
"There's no further threat," McMahill said.
The shooting occurred in a city still scarred by one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas, in which 60 were killed and hundreds more wounded.
