LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
North Las Vegas police investigated a fatal double shooting Friday night, the second in less than a week.
Police said a 54-year-old man was shot inside a room at the Vegas Verdes Motel, 1635 N. Main Street, north of Owens Avenue. He was transported to University Medical Center in good condition and is expected to survive, police said.
The shooter, a man in his 50s, left the room and committed suicide in a building a few doors down. Police said the men were known to each other and the shooting could have been over money or drugs, Sgt. Tim Bedwell, a police spokesman, said.
Another double shooting Wednesday left one man dead. Police arrested Mario Camacho, 33, who was booked on a murder charge at the North Las Vegas Detention Center. Two men, ages 18 and 20, were shot. The 18-year-old man died. He had not been identified as of Friday.

I live in NLV, just south of Aliante. I leave my doors unlocked every night with no problems. KMA, Jerry D. Have fun up there with all the "Get off my lawn" types, who end up being caught with child porn. If you don't know what KMA stands for, it starts with kiss.
When the riots started in the old "Westside" area of Las Vegas, I-15 to MLK, Bonanza to Carey back in the 60's the Sheriff was Ralph Lamb. His plan for dealing with it was simple. Close off the roads in and out, drop off as much ammo as could be used in to the area, stand back and wait till the shooting stops. Then go in and clean up the mess. The same could be said about NLV today.
Just another Northtown Shooting.
If you think Nevada is a red state you are the stupid one.

Unibomber, that is the single most stupid reasoning for something, i have ever read in my life, you must have been born and raised here. This place has the dumbest population in America, i guess thats why it's a red state.
