LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in the central Las Vegas valley, according to Metro police.
On Saturday around 5:20 p.m., officers responded to a home in the 700 block of Bruce Street near Bonanza Road and Maryland Parkway after a report of a woman who was shot. When officers arrived and approached the home, they heard another gunshot, police said.
Officers then entered the home and found a man and a woman suffering from gunshot wounds. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead, according to police.
Police said the man and woman had ended a long-term relationship and the woman had brought their children over for visitation. During the visitation, an argument ensued, during which the man pulled out a gun and shot the woman. When officers arrived, the man turned the gun on himself and took his own life, police said.
Police said the children were unharmed during the incident.
“This is a very tragic, tragic event. We encourage anyone who has any type of domestic violence issues to reach out to support services, the FJC, the Family Justice Center. It does not have to end like this,” LVMPD Homicide Lt. Robert Price said Saturday.
Help is available via the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) and the Domestic Violence Resource Center at 775-329-4150.
