One person was shot Sunday morning after two groups of people argued about whose turn it was for a photo in front of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign on the Las Vegas Strip.

Police were notified at 3:45 a.m. at the popular tourist spot at 5100 Las Vegas Blvd. South, according to Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jeff Stuart.

A bystander who was not part of either group was shot in the knee, Stuart said.

There have been no arrests, and the victim was reported to be stable, Stuart said.
