New Delhi: A horrifying incident unfolded in North Las Vegas, where at least five people lost their lives in a senseless shooting spree. The perpetrator, identified as Eric Adams, 47, tragically took his own life after the violent rampage.

The North Las Vegas Police Department revealed that Adams carried out two separate shootings on Monday night at different apartment complexes, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake. In addition to the five fatalities, a 13-year-old girl was left fighting for her life after sustaining a gunshot wound in the attack.

Authorities were first alerted to the unfolding tragedy following reports of a shooting at an apartment complex on Casa Norte Drive. Upon arrival, they discovered two adult females, one in her early 40s and the other in her late 50s, both of whom had sustained gunshot wounds. Tragically, despite the best efforts of medical personnel, both women succumbed to their injuries. A third victim, a 13-year-old female, was also found at the scene and rushed to the UMC Trauma Center in critical condition.

As the night wore on, police were confronted with an even more harrowing scene at a nearby apartment complex. Three more victims, including two women in their mid-20s and a man in his early 20s, were discovered with fatal gunshot wounds.

Following the identification of Adams as the suspect, a manhunt was launched, culminating in a dramatic confrontation on Tuesday morning. Acting on a tip-off, police located Adams at a local business on East Lake Mead Boulevard. Despite efforts to apprehend him peacefully, Adams fled to the backyard of a nearby residence, where he tragically took his own life.

This heart-wrenching incident has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving families shattered and a city in mourning. The North Las Vegas Police Department is continuing its investigation into the tragic events, seeking to understand the motives behind this senseless act of violence.
