A gunman entered a Las Vegas Athletic Club on Friday and shot multiple people, killing one and injuring several others.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a news release they arrived at the gym Friday afternoon after receiving reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, police said the suspected gunman exited the gym and tried to run past the officers, leading them to fire at the suspect.
After they took him into custody, the suspect was rendered medical aid. He died later at a nearby hospital, police said.
It is unclear what the gunman’s motive was. Police did not release his identity.
Inside the gym, police found one deceased shooting victim and two others with injuries, one in critical condition.
On Saturday, the Las Vegas Athletic Club identified the deceased victim as one of its employees, Edgar Quinonez, in a post on X.
“Edgar was a beloved part of the LVAC family for 15 years,” the gym said. “We are praying for Edgar’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed.”
The gym said it would be closed temporarily as the investigation into the shooting continues.
