LAS VEGAS (AP) A woman who said her relatives were the six people wounded in an overnight shooting that left one man dead at a Las Vegas apartment complex said gunfire erupted minutes after police warned people partying late Thursday on a third-floor balcony to leave.
It just escalated. We were all drinking, said Maria Guzman, a tenant who lives next-door to an apartment where crime scene investigators spent Friday morning collecting evidence inside a unit and on the balcony.
They told me to get my nephews inside or someone was going to jail, Guzman told The Associated Press. I put them all inside. Then, they pushed out the door.
A woman who stopped to talk before taking her children to school said she saw at least 10 people on the balcony drinking and arguing for several hours before fighting started, and then shooting.
Everyone was intoxicated, Nikki Paskevicius said outside a second-floor apartment facing the shooting scene. First, two people were fighting one-on-one. Then, someone stepped in with a gun.
