ORIGINAL STORY:
One person is dead after being shot by police on the Las Vegas Strip on Monday night.
Police responded to reports of a shooting around 10:10 p.m. to the 2000 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard, near St. Louis Avenue.
A victim was located and transported to the hospital.
Shortly after, police found the suspect in the area and a short pursuit followed.
The suspect began shooting at the police. Officers shot back, hitting the suspect. That man was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
"We were on lockdown," said Mika Smith who lives in the Seigel Suites nearby. "Before he [the suspect] was shot he tried getting in here. The whole community yelled at him and pointed their fingers saying, 'No, don't come over here. You can't come over here."
Police said the victim shot by the suspect was taken into surgery and is expected to survive.
