LAS VEGAS (AP) — Police say a gunman who killed three faculty members at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, was an unemployed professor who stuffed his waistband with loaded handgun magazines before beginning the attack. Authorities say 67-year-old Anthony Polito brought more than 150 rounds of ammunition and a list of targets — although those shot weren’t on that list. Polito died in a shootout with police Wednesday minutes after opening fire inside a building housing a business school. A fourth victim, a visiting professor, is hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Authorities say Polito appeared to be struggling financially. He taught some classes last year at Roseman University in Henderson, where he lived, but was let go after his program was canceled.
