In a second post at 11:59 a.m., the school updated that University Police were “responding to a confirmed active shooter situation in BEH. This is not a test.”

In a social media post, UNLV announced that its campus and all other NSHE institutions in southern Nevada are now closed for the remainder of the day.

At about 1:34 p.m., LVMPD Sheriff Kevin McMahill said there “was no further threat.” Authorities advised that there were “a number of victims” who had been transported to area hospitals.

Just before 2 p.m., LVMPD posted on X, “The suspect is deceased. Right now, we know there are 3 victims, but unknown extent of the injuries. That number could change. We will update you when we know more.”

The department updated at 3:41 p.m. that investigators had confirmed there were three deceased victims and an additional victim in critical condition at a local hospital.
