Unlucky Woman Gets Shot Playing Slots
The
North Las Vegas police say that a fight in a casino last night turned deadly this morning after one person shot and killed one person and wounded another.
The police responded to call at the Silver Nugget Hotel and casino around 4:25 in the morning to a report of shots fired.
Gathering evidence from a surveillance video camera, it shows that two large black males apparently in their teens got into a tumble at the pool room located in the casino.
The video shows one man throwing a drink at the other and the other man brandished a gun and started shooting.
The wounded person is an innocent bystander who was playing slot machines when a bullet ricocheted and entered her left hand. The 40 year old woman was transported to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The police spokesman says that the police do not know the reason the fight escalated into a shootout, but will release the surveillance video to the media to help identify and catch the suspect.
