Las Vegas Murder Suicide on The Strip

USA Today reports
A man shot and fatally wounded a woman, then killed himself Friday at the Excalibur hotel-casino on the Las Vegas Strip, sending many frightened patrons fleeing.

The shootings happened at about 8:30 p.m. near the high-rise hotel's front entrance, Las Vegas Metro Police Lt. Ray Steiber said.

The man shot the woman, who was a vendor at Excalibur's concierge desk, then turned the gun on himself, Steiber said. The man died at the scene, and the woman was pronounced dead later at a local hospital.
I'm guessing it was a domestic dispute, everyone knows guns are bad news for women.  Also I figure the guy was a lawful gun owner with a concealed carry permit.  About that, we'll never know because many concealed carry permit holders commit crimes and go undetected as such. You see, when murder happens, it suddenly becomes unimportant if the guy had a license to carry a gun or a library card.  No one checks.

What's your opinion?  Please leave a comment.

  1. Speculation, Mikeb. Speculation. A man who's going to commit murder doesn't need a carry license.
