Las Vegas – There was a shooting on Friday afternoon inside a gym, killing two people and hurting at least three others, Las Vegas police said.
A person died when shots exploded at the Las Vegas Athletic Club on the west side of the city, said sheriff of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, Andrew Walsh.
