What We Know About the Shooting at UNLV

On Wednesday morning, a mass shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas saw three people and the shooter confirmed dead along with another victim hospitalized. Executive Producer Sonja Cho Swanson, Producer Layla Muhammad and co-host Dayvid Figler take a measured look at how our city responds when public shootings occur, and relay stories of the confusion and chaos that unfolded hour by hour earlier in the day. We also assess law enforcement’s press conferences, and why the community needs real data as quickly as possible.

One quick update to this rapidly-evolving story: More details have emerged about the shooting suspect, who some sources say was a professor from North Carolina who had recently been turned down for a job at UNLV.
