All high school sporting events involving Clark County School District schools scheduled for Wednesday have been canceled because of the shooting at UNLV, a spokesperson from the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association confirmed.

Superintendent Jesus Jara said in a statement: “The Clark County School District offers our deepest condolences to the victims and families of this tragedy at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. UNLV is a vital part of the Nevada education community, and CCSD stands united with the UNLV community.”

Jara said the school district will “continue to deploy resources supporting our UNLV community as needed,” including its police department personnel and counselors from the district’s critical response teams.
