Arnoldo Sanchez, 78, who rented rooms to the three victims, has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in connection with the shooting, the statement said.

The incident took place shortly after midnight when officers responded to a shooting on West Chicago Avenue. There, they found a woman lying in the driveway with gunshot wounds, the statement said. The woman was then declared deceased.

A man then left the house with multiple gunshot wounds, police said. He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition, according to CNN affiliate KSNV-TV.

The suspected gunman – later identified as Sanchez – was located inside the house, but did not immediately leave, prompting calls for a SWAT unit, KSNV reported. Sanchez eventually left home after negotiations and was taken into custody.

Inside the house, officers found another woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.

The identification of the three victims as well as the cause and mode of death will be released by the Clark County Coroner’s Office.
