The Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper, citing a police
statement, said that in addition to the five dead, a 13-year-old
girl was also shot and is in critical condition at a nearby
hospital.
North Las Vegas police did not return requests for comment.
Police identified the suspect as Eric Adams, 57, according to
the Review-Journal. He is suspected of carrying out the shooting
late on Monday in two different apartments within the same
apartment complex.
Police did not provide details on any possible motive for the
shooting, nor did they say when or how they arrested Adams.
Names of the victims have not been released, though police said
that four women and one man were among those killed, according
to the newspaper.
