Five people died in the shooting. The deceased include one police officer and the attacker, who died by suicide.

Several others sustained injuries and were hospitalised. Two individuals, including a police officer, are reported to be in critical condition.
Police have launched an investigation. The attacker has been identified as Shane Tamura, a 27-year-old resident of Las Vegas. The motive behind the attack remains unclear.
