The music stopped and people shouted “Get down,” “Stay down,” as the gunfire continued.
SWAT teams were quickly sent to the hotel, where after a few hours, they reported 1 suspect was down.
Confirming that one suspect is down. This is an active investigation. Again, please do not head down to the Strip at this time.

Later, authorities said they suspected there weren’t any more shooters, and it was just one gunman, a local who was on the 32nd floor.
At this time we do not believe there are any more shooters. More information to come shortly from @Sheriff_LVMPD.
