Las Vegas Police Arrest 18-Year-Old In Mall Shooting That Hurt 3

Police say an 18-year-old was arrested on attempted murder charges a day after a shooting that wounded three people, sent shoppers scrambling and drew a massive police response to an upscale Las Vegas Strip mall.

 

Police said Wednesday the shooting the previous evening at the Fashion Show Mall stemmed from a gang-related dispute.

 

Police identified Christopher Valenzuela-Olivas as the shooter who fled after three people were wounded. Police say the three victims have been released from a hospital.

 

Valenzuela-Olivas is jailed pending a court appearance where he'll have an attorney appointed for his defense.
