Family Torn Apart: Las Vegas Shooting Victims Remembered
There's some breaking news out of Las Vegas three people are dead including the gunman after a shooting inside a fifth floor Law Office CBS News has learned that one of the victims was a prominent trial attorney. CBS Alise Preston has the latest developments.
It is barricaded as right now we have one victim shot police say it was just after 10:00 a.m. in this busy six-floor office building when shots rang out in attorney Dennis Prince's Law Office
. All of a sudden, I heard some screams and yelling coming from like out in the hallway. I immediately just texted my husband told him I loved him. Terrified workers hunkered down in their offices for hours waiting for police to come help.
We're going door by door and making sure that everybody in there is okay and evacuating them. A close friend of Dennis Prince and his wife tells CBS news they were among those killed.
The well-known attorney was representing his wife Ashley in a deposition against her ex-husband when the ex's father attorney Joe Houston allegedly shot them before turning the gun on himself. We believe the suspect is deceased and there is no further threat to the community tonight.
Las Vegas Police are left wondering why the gunman pulled the trigger and how the community will heal. It's pretty crazy to think that you know it can really happen anywhere to anyone. Now the couple leaves behind four children including an infant they just had a few months ago.
Nora Elise Preston, thank you very much.
