A man and woman were killed in the six-story building before the male suspect killed himself, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a news conference.

"I don't have any information on motive," McMahill said. "I don't have much on the investigation as this is early stages ... I wanted to make sure our community understands there is no further threat to our community."

McMahill said police "have a theory" regarding the suspect's relationship to the victims, but he did not share that information.

The shooter and one of the victims were Las Vegas attorneys," KLAS-TV reported. The woman who was killed was "romantically involved with" one of the attorneys, the Las Vegas, Nevada-based TV station said.

The building was evacuated and everyone took refuge at the Red Rock Casino Resort, Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck said during the news conference.

"(The Red Rock Casino Resort) will become an assistance center moving forward," Steinbeck said.

Police are also investigating the suspect's vehicle, which was found in the building's parking garage, McMahill said.
