The wounded man is in critical condition. It wasn't immediately clear which victim was the executive.

No attorney or listed number was immediately available for Wrobel. A motive for the shooting isn't clear.

Venetian spokesman Ron Reese says the company is cooperating with authorities and not commenting further because it's an ongoing investigation.
