Just In: Shooting in Las Vegas Sparks Major Investigation, 'Heavy' Police Presence in the Area

Multiple news agencies reported a heavy police presence in Las Vegas on Monday morning following reports of a shooting.

No details were immediately confirmed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

According to KVVU-TV, a shooting was reported at a business in the Las Vegas neighborhood of Summerlin.

The department called the situation “dynamic” in a social media post.

“We are investigating a shooting inside a business near Pavilion Center Drive and Charleston,” the department shared on the social media platform X.

Vegas police added, “This is a dynamic event and multiple LVMPD emergency vehicles are responding. Please avoid the area. We will have more info soon.”

Are big cities too dangerous?

According to KVVU, some schools in the neighborhood were placed on lockdown after the shooting.

Those lockdowns have since been lifted.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal did not have any details about any potential victims, but reported first responders had been dispatched to the scene of a “shooting.”

Numerous videos purported to have been taken from the scene were circulating online within moments of reports of the shooting:

Police later said two major intersections had been closed.

Members of the public were asked to avoid the area.

An Important Message from Our Staff:

 

In just a few months, the world is going to change forever. The 2024 election is the single most important election of our lifetime. 

 

We here at The Western Journal are committed to covering it in a way the establishment media simply will not: We will tell the truth, and they will lie.

 

But Big Tech and the elites don’t want the truth out. That’s why they have cut us off from 90% of advertisers. Imagine if someone cut your monthly income by 90%. That’s what they’ve done to people like us. 

 

As a staff, we are asking you to join us to fight this once-in-a-lifetime fight. Without you not only will The Western Journal fail, but America will fail also. As Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

Will you support The Western Journal today and become a member? 

 

A Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

This is the time. America will live or die based on what happens this year. Please join us to get the real truth out and to fight the elites, Big Tech, and the people who want America to fail. Together, we really can save the country.

 

Thank you for your support!
