A suspect is dead after reports of an active shooter at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The university said shots were reported at Beam Hall as well as the school’s student union.
There “appears to be multiple victims,” according to police.
A ground stop was initiated at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport on Wednesday due to the close proximity of the airport runways to the shooting site, and because of the police response to the shooting, which included helicopters, according to an official briefed on the incident.
The university said police are evacuating buildings one at a time and students are urged to shelter in place.
Beam Hall is home to the university’s business school. The student union is located one building over from Beam Hall.
