LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Three people are dead following a shooting Monday morning at a law office in Las Vegas, according to officials.
Police received a call of a shooting shortly after 10 a.m. inside a business near the Red Rock resort in Summerlin, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said. The victims included a man and a woman, while a third person, the suspect, is also dead.
“The suspect was not killed by police. We believe he took his own life,” McMahill added.
There is no ongoing threat to the public, officials said.

McMahill said the investigation is in the early stages, and no motive has been established.
Witnesses and other employees were being taken to Red Rock Casino Resort on Monday for assistance and victim services.
“As you can imagine we have a five or six-story building,” McMahill said. “We have people that are hunkered down following active shooter protocols. We’re going door by door and making sure everybody in there is OK and evacuating them.”
Police have asked the public to avoid the area.
Summerlin spans roughly 13 miles (21 kilometers) along the city’s western edge, about 30 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip.
