Las Vegas police Lt. David Gordon said at 2:56 a.m. police were called to an apartment complex in the 200 block of West New York Avenue, near Industrial Road and Wyoming Avenue, for a report of shots fired.

“An adult male victim was struck by gunfire,” Gordon wrote in a text. “The victim was transported to the hospital where he is in critical but stable condition.”
