An attacker with a large kitchen knife killed two people and wounded six others in stabbings along the Las Vegas Strip before being arrested Thursday, police said.
Three people were hospitalized in critical condition and another three were in stable condition, according to Las Vegas police who said they began receiving 911 calls about the stabbings around 11:40 a.m. on the north end of the Strip.
Authorities said the suspect identified himself to police and they are working to determine his „true identity.“ They described him as Hispanic and in his 30s, and said he does not appear to be a Las Vegas resident.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said the names of the two people killed were being withheld until their relatives can be notified.
„Locals and tourists are the victims of this crime,“ Lombardo said at a news conference.
