In an unexpected turn of events, a shooting incident took place at a gym in Las Vegas' west side, as per Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Undersheriff Andrew Walsh. The gunfire resulted in the tragic death of one individual, while the perpetrator, armed with a firearm, was also killed. Three other individuals were left injured.
Officials engaged the suspect, effectuating a fatal shot at the suspect upon their exit from the gym. The suspect subsequently expired at a nearby hospital. Out of the injured, one was reported in critical condition, while the others were taken to local hospitals for treatment. Walsh affirmed that no longer poses a threat to the public.
At the time of the shooting, the gym was identified as the Las Vegas Athletic Club. Law enforcement is still working diligently to uncover the motive behind the senseless act. There were conflicting accounts of the incident, with one witness, Claudio Vigani, stating, "They screamed, 'Get out, get out, get out.' Then I saw the deceased near a fitness machine." Another individual, Gary Steward, disclosed that a last-minute stop at a nutrition store might have saved their lives. He described how, had they not paused, they would have been at the front desk when the shooter entered the gym. As they approached the gym, they noticed broken glass, at which point they swiftly retreated to the parking lot. Steward expressed a sense of unease, commenting, "It's just an odd feeling right now. It's strange - who would go so far as to shoot up a gym?" Attempts to reach the gym and its corporate offices were unsuccessful.
