The shooter was reportedly at UNLV's Lee Business School, located in the Beam Hall, Frank and Estella Building in Las Vegas, according to the institution. The 332-acre (135-hectare) UNLV campus is situated less than two miles east of the Strip.
A professor who had applied for a job at the university but was turned down was the man accused of shooting 3 people dead and wounded another on Wednesday at a university in Las Vegas, a law enforcement person with direct knowledge of the case told The Associated Press.
Police claimed that the gunman was shot and killed by law enforcement. The community, still reeling after the deaths of sixty people in a mass shooting in 2017, was rocked by the attack at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
