Wild video shows the moment a gunman shot dead two people on the Las Vegas strip — just feet away from terrified bystanders who were filming the famed Bellagio Casino fountains.
The caught-on-camera saga unfolded when the suspect suddenly opened fire on Las Vegas Boulevard outside the Bellagio just after 10:30 p.m. on Sunday in what cops believe was a targeted shooting.
The footage, obtained by TMZ, showed unsuspecting tourists milling about on the sidewalk before the perp, who was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses, stormed into view brandishing the firearm.
He could be seen firing off multiple rounds just inches from an innocent bystander’s face before dashing out of view of the camera, the clip shows.
“Are you f—ing kidding me?!” a woman could be heard shouting as others ducked for cover nearby.
Officers patrolling the strip ran towards the scene where they found the two victims suffering gunshot wounds, police said.
“It is believed that the suspect and the victims knew each other and had previously engaged in conflict over social media prior to the shooting,” cops said in a statement.
“At this time, we believe this to be an isolated incident, and a possible suspect has been identified.”
Police haven’t released the suspect’s name.
The two victims, who also haven’t been identified publicly, were pronounced dead at the scene by first responders.
