Dayton halts game with UNLV after 3 killed in Vegas shooting ESPN

UNLV's basketball game at Dayton will not be played Wednesday night after a mass shooting earlier in the day left three people dead at the Las Vegas school.

Police said a fourth person was critically wounded and that the suspected shooter was also dead.

"We ask that our fans keep the UNLV community in their thoughts and prayers," Dayton posted on X.

Alerts went out across the UNLV campus, which is less than two miles east of the Las Vegas Strip, after callers reported an active shooter to police at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, said Adam Garcia, a university police official. He said officers found and "engaged" a suspect, who is now dead. It was not immediately clear how the suspect died.

Police gave the all-clear about 40 minutes after the first report of an active shooter.

Authorities did not immediately provide additional information but planned to give further updates at a news conference scheduled for 5 p.m. PT.
