The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a shooting at Manny’s Glo Afterdark Hookah Lounge early Saturday morning that left one man dead and 13 others injured.
Captain Dori Koren stated during a briefing that police officers responded at 3:15 a.m. to numerous reports of a shooting at the lounge on the 900 block of East Sahara.
When police arrived, they found a large number of victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers immediately administered tourniquets and cardiopulmonary resuscitation to the victims, while others were transported to area hospitals.
