UPDATE 2 people now dead, 8 wounded after stabbing spree on Las Vegas Strip
LAS VEGAS — Authorities in Nevada said two people are dead and eight people were injured after a stabbing attack on the Las Vegas Strip Thursday morning.Officers were called to a casino in the 3100 block of Las Vegas Boulevard at 11:41 a.m. on reports of a stabbing with multiple victims, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says.
Police are currently transporting multiple victims to area hospitals with"unknown extent of injuries," according to a spokesperson. One woman, who claims four of the injured showgirls work for her, told the woman he"was a chef" and wanted to take a picture with the showgirls"with his knife."One witness from Los Angeles says one victim appeared to have been stabbed in the Fashion Mall and was"laying on the ground near the shops," being attended to by one of the security guards. The witness, however, did not observe the attack directly, as they were in the Wynn at the time of the attack.
I just talked to a tourist from Montreal, he says he saw at least two showgirls stabbed on the Strip. The showgirls walk the Strip to talk photographs with visitors.
