Officials report that three people have died as a result of a shooting that occurred at a Las Vegas law office on Monday morning.
Around 10 a.m., during a deposition hearing in a child custody dispute at the law office in the upscale Summerlin suburb of Las Vegas, a man in his 70s allegedly opened fire, according to the police.
According to Las Vegas police homicide Lt. Jason Johansson, the guy shot himself after murdering a man in his 50s and a lady in her 30s across the table.
According to Johansson, the shooting at the mid-rise office building took place a few minutes after Monday morning’s hearing started.
Johansson remarked, “It seems our two victims were very specific targets.”
According to Johansson, there were seven people in the room when the shooting started. He claimed that the children at the core of the custody dispute were safe and accounted for, and the other four people—among them a court reporter—were able to flee swiftly and notify the police.
Following the shooting, Johansson said, investigators looked through the shooter’s car, a red Ford Expedition, outside the office building. He kept quiet about what was discovered within.
The Prince Law Group released a statement saying, “With deep sadness, we would like to thank everyone who has reached out to us with sincere messages of concern and sympathy over the tragic violence that occurred this morning in our offices.”
Johansson stated that the shooting occurred in suite No. 560, which is the address of Las Vegas lawyer Dennis Prince’s legal firm, Prince Legal Group. However, she did not name the victims or the gunman.
However, sources tell KLAS on Nexstar that Dennis Prince, a Las Vegas lawyer, and his wife, Ashley Prince, are the victims.
Robert Eglet, Prince’s former legal partner, said that Prince was an amazing father to four kids. “Not just a loss to his family, but also to the community,” he added of his passing.
Tom Letizia, a political strategist and friend of Dennis Prince, stated, “We are deeply saddened by the devastating news of his passing. Dennis was a distinguished attorney who was regarded as one of the finest in our state.” “We are all in grief for Dennis, who was not only a dear friend of mine but also a well-respected member of our legal community. My entire community, including myself, is deeply disturbed by the news of this catastrophe.
Summerlin is located around 30 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip and stretches over about 13 miles along the western fringe of the city.
