LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say a man fatally shot a woman and two children and critically wounded a third child before fatally shooting himself at an apartment complex in Las Vegas. Police homicide Lt. Robert Price described Monday’s shootings as a murder-suicide. They took place five days after a lone gunman fatally shot three University of Nevada, Las Vegas, faculty members and critically wounded a fourth. Police identified that shooter as Anthony Polito. He was killed during a shootout with police. Authorities have not identified a motive but say Polito had been turned down for university teaching jobs in Nevada.
