The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to multiple calls of a shooting inside a store in the Summerlin area, about 25 miles from Las Vegas.
“This is a dynamic incident and multiple LVMPD emergency vehicles are responding,” police said on social media. “Please avoid that area.”

Las Vegas Sheriff Kevin McMahill said there is no further threat at this time.

“The suspect was not killed by my police. We believe he took his own life,” McMahill added.
Additionally, details such as the names and relationships between the victims and the shooter have not been made public. It is not yet known whether the victim is an employee of the law firm.
