3 shot near Las Vegas Strip; latest in string of shootings

Metro Police are investigating the early morning shooting of three people after a fight outside a bar and liquor store just east of the Strip.

Police say all three victims were hospitalized but expected to survive in the latest of a string of local shootings and assaults in recent weeks.

Witnesses flagged down passing officers in the parking lot of the Stage Door Casino at about 3:30 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators believe there was a fight in the parking lot, and then someone shot into the crowd from a passing car.

One person was shot in the leg in the valet area of the Aria Tuesday night during a party for rapper Moneybagg Yo, who posted on social media that he was not the target of the shooting.

Last weekend, a 27-year-old man was shot five times during a fight in front of Paris Las Vegas. The man survived. Police arrested three others.
