Then, in a separate incident a few hours later, a man allegedly shot one person dead and wounded another on a double-decker transit bus which was stopped on Las Vegas Boulevard near the Cosmopolitan hotel-casino.
The city was in a state of terror Saturday as the Cosmopolitan hotel was evacuated following the shooting.
For hours, crisis negotiators, robots and armored vehicles surrounded the bus with authorities uncertain if there were any more victims inside the bus.
