After a deadly Las Vegas shooting Sunday night, officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are continuing to assist Las Vegas first responders, and reminding the public to remain vigilant in the hours following.

The public is being asked to remain vigilant and report any information about potential threats to their local law enforcement agency.

Shortly after the shooting began, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) was notified of the incident and immediately activated the Department Operations Center (DOC). Sheriff Jim McDonnell reached out to Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo and offered the LASD’s immediate assistance with the ongoing incident.

Initial reports indicated there were multiple shooters, in numerous locations throughout Las Vegas, armed with automatic weapons and randomly shooting at the public. Sheriff McDonnell ordered the activation of a response team to include the Department’s Special Enforcement Bureau (SWAT teams), Emergency Services Detail (Rescue Paramedics), Aero Bureau, and Arson and Explosives Detail (Bomb Squad). The Department’s “Air 5” Super Puma helicopter was readied for potential rapid deployment needs. All Sheriff’s Stations throughout the county were placed on standby, for any response that might be needed within the county or beyond.

As events unfolded, it was determined that a single shooter was responsible. The Las Vegas Metro SWAT team found the suspect. The suspect is dead. LASD resources remained available throughout the night. We were in constant contact with Sheriff Lombardo and his staff. LASD command staff is embedded at the command post in Las Vegas.

A Sheriff’s conference call was initiated at 1:30am for senior LASD command staff, to ensure a situational awareness of the current situation in Las Vegas and to have the appropriate state of department preparedness.
