Two people have died from gunshot wounds and at least another 24 are injured after an early morning shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, a city hospital confirmed, according to CNN report.
Police issued a warning on Twitter telling people to avoid the area around the Mandalay Bay Casino due to reports of an active shooter. They later tweeted that "one suspect is down."
The city's University Medical Center said that 26 people had been hospitalized with gunshot wounds and at least two of them had died from their injuries.
