LAS VEGAS (AP) — A man who opened fire at an apartment complex near Las Vegas, killing five people and injuring a 13-year-old girl, was banned from owning a firearm because of prior felony convictions. Authorities say Monday’s shootings stemmed from a domestic dispute between the shooter and his former girlfriend. North Las Vegas police say Eric Adams didn’t shoot his ex-girlfriend and instead fatally shot the woman’s adult daughter and her girlfriend before turning the gun on a neighbor who was trying to intervene. Police say Adams then went into the neighbor’s apartment unit and opened fire on the man’s family, killing two and wounding his teen sister. Adams killed himself the next morning as police officers confronted him.
