At least one person was killed and four others wounded in a shooting at a homeless encampment in Las Vegas on Friday, police said.

The incident occurred in the area of Charleston Boulevard and U.S. 95 around 5:30 p.m. local time. Officers responded to a homeless encampment, where witnesses directed them to multiple victims, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said at a press briefing Friday night.

    It could have been a homeless person that shot them. Waiting until the facts are known is always better than assuming you already know without needing them.

        Sure it is. It’s disgusting that anyone shoots anyone. But when you start making assumptions that it was someone from outside preying on them- yore creating a false narrative for the purpose of agitating the us vs them crowd which is disingenuous.

        Just wait and see what the investigation produces.

          The only person who made that assumption was you. No one mentioned whether the shooter was homeless or not.
