Sheriff Kevin McMahill says the shooter, a man, killed himself before police arrived.

“The suspect was not killed by police; we believe he took his own life.”

As for a possible motive, McMahill said his team has a theory that hasn’t yet been confirmed.

According to police, hundreds of people were inside the building when the shooting took place.

Clark County officials say they are offering support to those affected by today’s shooting through the Resiliency and Justice Center.
