What to know about the UNLV shooting

• The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded this afternoon to reports of an active shooter on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.


• Multiple victims were killed, two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the matter told NBC News.


• The shooting occurred near Beam Hall.


• Police said the suspect has been located and is dead.

The shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, that had students and faculty shelter in place occurred on the same day that a vigil was planned to honor the memory of two Nevada state troopers, and less than a week after a deadly shooting at a homeless encampment.

The vigil, scheduled for Nevada State Police Sgt. Michael Abbate and Trooper Alberto Felix at Allegiant Stadium, was called off in light of the the UNLV shooting, officials said.

The event, organized by the Injured Police Officer’s Fund, was supposed to start at 5:30 p.m. local time.

“The IPOF regrets the decision but feels it’s in the best interest of the community,” according to a Clark County statement.

Abbate and Felix were checking on a driver who appeared to be sleeping in his car on Interstate 15 when they were fatally struck by an alleged drunken driver.

On Friday night, one person was killed in a shooting at a homeless encampment, police said. Four other people were injured.
