Las Vegas police are looking for a black Range Rover after a sudden burst of gunfire and a car fire led to the deaths of three people on the famed Strip, shutting the gambling boulevard down in several directions.
A Range Rover Sport with black rims pulled up to another car at a stoplight at the intersection of Las Vegas and Flamingo Boulevards around 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Officer Jose Hernandez of the Las Vegas Police Department told NBC News.
The occupants of the SUV opened fire on another car, which The Associated Press reported was a Maserati. The driver and passenger of that vehicle were hit, according to Hernandez, and the car went out of control, striking four other vehicles and a taxi cab.
The cab burst into flames, killing the driver and a passenger. The driver of the Maserati was also killed, though it is not clear if the vehicle fire or the gunshots were the cause.
Three people were transported to the hospital for injuries of unknown seriousness, Hernandez said.?
Police are warning people to be careful if they spot the black SUV that fled the scene.
?We want to remind everyone that they are armed and dangerous,? Hernandez said.
