Three people were killed in a shooting and fiery car crash Thursday on the Las Vegas Strip, police said, warning that the suspected shooters remained at large and were “armed and dangerous.” The overnight incident started with an altercation in a parking zone of the Aria hotel resort, before two high-end vehicles, a Range Rover and a Maserati, sped out onto the renowned casino-lined Strip. As they drove north up the Strip, at about 4:30am occupants of the Range Rover fired at the Maserati, killing its driver. The vehicle then smashed into a taxi, igniting a fireball. Several other cars were also hit, leaving a chaotic scene on the Strip near the Flamingo casino resort, footage of the scene showed. A portion of the world-famous boulevard remained sealed off early afternoon. Two people in the taxi were killed. At least four other people were injured in the pile-up, in the center of Vegas where partying and activity regularly continues all night.
