A lawyer fatally shot his former daughter-in-law, as well as a fellow attorney, during a deposition at a Las Vegas law firm Monday morning, two sources familiar with the investigation said.
The shooter opened fire at the Prince Law Group office in Summerlin during a deposition of his son, whom he had been representing, the sources said Monday afternoon.
The other lawyer was representing his own wife, who was the former daughter-in-law of the shooter and opposing counsel, the sources said.
The alleged gunman died after he turned the gun on himself, according to the sources. His son survived.
The sources characterized the shooting as targeted and domestic-related.
The incident occurred about 10 a.m. at the fifth-floor law office on West Charleston Boulevard near Pavilion Center Drive, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference. Responding officers found the three people with gunshot wounds, police said Tuesday. They were pronounced dead at the scene by medical personnel.
“The suspect was not killed by my police. We believe he took his own life,” he said, adding that there was no further threat to the public.
