Policedon't believe the shooting just after midnight was a random act, but Officer Laura Meltzer said the shooter or shooters hadn't been identified. She added initial reports from a police spokesman at the scene that the shooting happened in the theater lobby were incorrect.

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from an ongoing conflict between members of two groups that squared off in the parking structure near the UA Showcase 8 theater, Meltzer said. The parking structure lobby has entrances to the theater and to Las Vegas Boulevard.

Police arrived to find one of the most seriously wounded people in the parking structure lobby and another in an elevator car on the fifth floor of the six-story parking structure. Both were reported to be in critical condition at University Medical Center in Las Vegas. Their names weren't made public.

A third victim was found near the street in front of the elevator lobby. He was treated at the scene for an injury that Meltzer said wasn't believed to be life-threatening. The wounded were described as males, but their ages weren't immediately known.

According to movie show times, the last features of the night let out shortly before the shooting was reported. Meltzer said she didn't know if anyone inside the theater heard or knew about the shooting outside.

Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think they live in. We believe news can and should expand a sense of identity and possibility beyond narrow conventional expectations.
