2 killed in shooting near Bellagio Fountains on Las Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two people are dead and the suspect is at large following a shooting in front of the landmark fountains at the Bellagio Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. The shooting was reported around 10:40 p.m. Sunday when two Las Vegas Metropolitan police officers discovered two people with gunshot wounds on the sidewalk, according to Undersheriff Andrew Walsh. He said the officers had been on routine patrol when they heard gunfire and ran toward the area. Both gunshot victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Walsh said the suspect is known to police but not in custody, and the shooting is an 'isolated incident' that stemmed from a conflict between the suspect and the victims. 'The suspect and victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms,' Walsh said. Witnesses told Nexstar's KLAS that they saw the shooter throw the gun in some bushes, and police recovered it. Video of the purported shooting posted on social media showed a man with a gun pointing toward another man off camera. KLAS has not verified the authenticity of the video. Police said there was a Zoox robotaxi in front of the fountains at the time of the shooting. Those vehicles have wrap-around exterior cameras. Part of Las Vegas Boulevard was closed until around 5:30 a.m. Monday. The identities of the shooting victims were not immediately released. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Tougher penalties for copper wire theft passed by Nevada legislature
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — It was a unanimous vote by the Nevada Legislature to pass Assembly Bill 503, which would increase penalties for copper wire theft. District E, County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, is a big proponent of the bill. Segerblom is taking steps to stop these thieves and get the lights turned back on for valley residents. 'I'm just so proud of the legislature for stepping up and hopefully the Governor signs it,' Segerblom said. He, along with others, implemented a Copper Wire Task Force last year to be more on top of the issue, and since then, he said he has seen improvements. 'We get daily complaints, but there have been less. I'm not sure if it's because we are more proactive, but we've started putting wire back in with aluminum and we also have solar lights which are good,' Segerblom said. Those caught with less than $500 worth of copper could face a misdemeanor, and anything above that would be considered a felony with up to four years in prison. Over at Broadway Pizza off Rancho and Charleston, Co-owner Mario Perdichizzi said this bill hits close to home. His business was targeted last year after copper wire thieves ripped through his A/C unit. He said it is about time something was done. 'It feels great because they should pay the penalty for stealing it and there also needs to be a penalty for stolen goods,' Perdichizzi said 'We put a camera up on the roof and we want to put a cage over the unit itself. We put lights by the unit and one in the back alley, too.' The next step is for Governor Lombardo to sign this bill into law. Once that is done, the new penalties will go into effect on October 1. Clark County's public works department estimates that nearly 1 million feet of streetlight wiring have been stolen since 2022. In Clark County, sellers must provide documentation that verifies that the wire was not stolen. It's also illegal for businesses to purchase scrap metal from walk-up sellers and accept cash payments for copper wire. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
