Reported gunshot at mall on Las Vegas Strip evokes memory of Oct. 1
A reported gunshot Monday night at the Fashion Show mall on the Strip sent crowds running and prompted a heavy police response.
Nearly 20 months after a mass shooting about 2 ½ miles south on the same Las Vegas Boulevard took 58 lives, the response on Monday was a startling reminder of how quickly a normal day can turn chaotic.
Las Vegas police said the gunshot was reported shortly after 6 p.m. The preliminary investigation revealed a fight occurred, but as it broke up, one shot was fired, police said.
No one was injured, but the shooting prompted a precautionary evacuation, according to police. Authorities did not say if anyone had been apprehended in the shooting.
