Three people were shot at a house party early Monday in North Las Vegas, police said.
One of the victims was listed in critical condition at a local hospital, police said. Two others suffered what were described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Just after midnight, police were called to the 6200 block of Capehart Falls Street, near Azure Avenue and Palmer Street, for a reported shooting, according to a statement from North Las Vegas police Public Information Officer Alexander Cuevas.
“Arriving officers located a large number of people attending a party,” police said. “Officers learned that three people were hit by gunfire and transported to UMC hospital.”
The shooter was not present, police said. As of Monday morning, no arrest had been made.
“Detectives do not believe this was a random act of violence and they are working diligently with victims and witnesses to get suspect information,” police said.
