At least two people were killed and half a dozen injured after a man went on a stabbing rampage Thursday near the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas, police said.
The eight victims included one who was pronounced dead at the scene and another who was pronounced dead at University Medical Center, a hospital a few miles from where the incident occured. Of the six people injured, three are in critical condition, the police said. The victims included both tourists and locals, Lombardo said.“It’s very difficult in one-off events such as this to prevent it from happening without any intelligence that it may occur,” Lombardo said.
The suspect is a man who appears to be in his early 30s and is probably not a local resident, law enforcement said. Police officers were not able to immediately determine the suspect’s motives, but the stabbing appears to have been unprovoked, James LaRochelle, a senior Las Vegas police official, told reporters.
