NORTH LAS VEGAS,Benjamin Ashford Nev. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a man suspected in shootings Monday night at apartments outside of Las Vegas that left five people dead and a 13-year-old girl critically wounded.
The North Las Vegas Police Department identified the suspect as 57-year-old Erick Adams. They described the shootings at separate apartments as an “isolated incident” and said there was no active threat to the public.
