A suspect is dead after reports of an active shooter at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
The university said shots were reported at Beam Hall as well as the school's student union.
There "appears to be multiple victims," according to police.
School shootings haven’t been post worthy since 2021. Try to keep up.
Unless you have an original thought you wish to contribute
It’s even boring to play guess the ethnicity. If it was whitey, we would know that already.
its december graduation time at unlv could be some incel white kid who failed out this feels like whitey
Still no ID on shooter.
Chances of it being a white male is fairly low right now. However, it's possible they aren't releasing this for a specific reason, so it still possibly could be whitey.
Nonzero chance this has a connection to Palestinian stuff, in which case they especially won't want to discuss it.
why would it be a UNLV campus if its Palestinian related as you are trying to imply. there are a 100 better suited targets for that if that is the motive you are implying.Quote:

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (KABC) -- The man suspected of opening fire at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Wednesday, killing three people and wounding a fourth, has been identified as 67-year-old Anthony Polito, law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
Polito is described as a college professor who previously worked in North Carolina and Georgia, and had sought a job at UNLV. He apparently did not succeed in that effort.
Campus police detectives confronted the gunman within minutes of gunfire ringing out on campus Wednesday. He was killed at the scene.
He was armed with a handgun.
Investigators are searching an apartment in Henderson, Nev. believed to be Polito's home, ABC News reports. They have also obtained his phone and are searching it for evidence as to his motive for the shooting. They also searching through his professional writings for possible clues.
Authorities have determined that the victims who were killed in the shooting were faculty or staff, not students. That suggests the attack was not entirely random, but it's not clear yet if he knew the particular individuals.
The investigation at this time indicates he fired first on police before they shot and killed him.
Polito maintained a LinkedIn page and a personal website. On the website, he published a 15-page document on the Zodiac Killer, claiming to have decoded some of the cryptic messages from the killer who operated in Northern California in the late 1960s.
He also indicates a fondness for Las Vegas, having made some two dozen trips there in the last 15 years and providing numerous links to articles and travel guides on the city.
On LinkedIn, he described himself as a "semi-retired university professor" living in Las Vegas. He also listed employment at East Carolina University from 2001 to 2017. He said he has a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Georgia and a master's in business administration from Duke University.
Didn't expect (potential) workplace violence, but I guess that makes sense.
Dude tried to get a job, was denied, and somehow snapped.
Given he was 67, early onset dementia might be at play here.
The fact that he specifically went after faculty/staff, and not students, makes it clear he was trying to harm those he blamed for not getting hired, and wasn't just trying to kill students to make headlines.

Sounds like police were disappointed that it turned out to be a pissed off teacher.
They were ready for a kid armed with at least two AR-15's and a thousand rounds of ammo who goes on a rampage and kills at minimum 20 people. Then they can boast on how heroic they were when they shoot him in the head.

Figures this happened in a MAGA run city.
Why isn't Fox "news" talking about how dangerous it is to be in one of those f'ing war zones?
Can't even go near a school in any shit hole run by a MAGA Mayor like Carolyn Goodman

If you'd like to see this dude's website, it outlived him.
It's the only remaining website with a more antiquated look than PFA. Think 1998 Geocities.

And then there's this weirdness:
https://twitter.com/LasVegasLocally/...82202271097247
And as much as I'm sure you libs would love to say this white male shooter was another right wing nutjob....
His website lists George Soros as one of the "Great Minds of the Twentieth Century", and he linked an Economist article from 2015 called "Excellence v Equity in Higher Education", which makes the case that people at lower income levels don't have enough access to higher education.
He also was apparently obsessed with Las Vegas, and students reported that his classes were "easy", mostly just him talking about Vegas and otherwise giving easy tests on the subject matter he was supposed to be teaching.
Strangely, he also engaged in some kind of computer hacking in 1992, at the age of 36. It's not clear what he hacked, but that's his only arrest.
Here was the "CONTENT OF ENVELOPES" PDF, which contained his rants that he wrote days before the shooting, but removed prior to committing it:
https://web.archive.org/web/20231208...fEnvelopes.pdf
Apparently he mailed 22 letters off with a harmless white powder inside, and different insults contained in each letter, aimed at the recipient. Here's an example:

felony=moral turpitude and he might get fired for it. Has MASSIVELY DISRUPTED OR
BLOCKED ALMOST EVERY TENURE / PROMOTION DECISION he has been
involved in for the last 20 years pulling all sorts of illegal and unethical shit -- unless he owns &
operates the candidate as part of his never-ending empire-building campaign. Five years of signed
positive tenure progress letters -- then the week before the vote Zemanek starts pullin' his shit and
everybody runs scared. Dozens of excellent faculty he blocked, run off, caused to move to other
schools. Often appears on campus while using various types of altering drugs he buys in Thailand,
one that turns his skin fuckin' orange. Don't believe it? Ask ex-Dean Ernie Uhr, Zemanek was a
destructive pain-in-the-ass even back when Uhr was the Dean 20 years ago. Don't believe it? Check
with Rich Gooner down at UGA, ask him what DIRTY shit Zemanek pulled to steal HIS tenure bid
and run him out of town on a rail. Or ask Dr. Bev Wright what Zemanek do destroy her valid tenure
bid, had to skip no notice run to Georgia to find other jobs. All this criminal behavior, all these
victims, all this damage to the University, yet Zemanek endlessly heads all the hiring, tenure and
promotion committees -- and has the cozy office with the corner windows. IS ALL THAT
STEAMING ZEMANEK SHIT OK WITH YOU FOR ECU?
Total lunatic, as you'd expect of a guy who shot strangers at a university.

Stan Eakins. Ha Ha! Fuck you yet again, you corrupt idiot Klan-goober LIZARD-BRAINED thief

Reading this guy's rants a few days before the shooting, it seems like these people named are damn lucky he had moved to Vegas.
It seems he blames a bunch of faculty at his previous jobs for his career problems, and in fact in one case wrote that one guy is lucky he left town instead of coming over to the guy's house to settle things. And he's probably right.. that guy is lucky he left town.
So it looks like his failure to get hired at UNLV was one of those final straw things, and he took it out on UNLV faculty, basically seeing all faculty at all colleges to be corrupt and evil. It doesn't seem to be anger specifically at UNLV for not hiring him, but simply the city he happened to be when he decided to kill university faculty.
Perhaps he removed the PDF because he was worried authorities might be contacted, and his plan to shoot up UNLV would be ruined.
It is notable that he did not go after any students, so this wasn't just a random spree killing by an angry man. He specifically wanted to harm the type of person he felt had ruined his career -- other college faculty members.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or48ugDElaY
You can see when he was shot. He actually chased down the cop he ran into, and fired at him, so clearly the dude was looking to die by police fire.
I don't get why this man at 67 ,with probably a pension and eligible for social security im assuming gets upset he get rejected for a job , why just not retire ?
obviously he wasn't mentally well but in a logical frame of mind where he did not want to harm students as they out number faculty 20-1 .
i go into this campus once a month or so as there is a not advertised US Bank branch there to deposit some cash and i know its a public space but was surprised they let non students in. that will probably change in time.
He seemed to be broke and was about to be evicted. Maybe he had been borrowing against whatever pension he had.Quote:

Perhaps his move to Vegas was his last shot to revive his career. Maybe he thought that moving across the country to a city he always loved could be a fresh start away from all of his previous career issues, and he could get a job at a Nevada college/university and start over. When that failed, and he was out of money, he probably thought it was all over for him, so he decided to take out a few close by faculty members, and then get shot dead by the cops.
I don't know how accurate his shot at the cop was intended to be. That video was really weird. Seemed like he just kinda fired his gun off, the cop took cover, and he calmly walked to where the cop had moved. Very much looked like suicide by cop to me, perhaps without the intention to actually hurt any police.
def suicide by cop his agenda was the HR department or faculty ,Quote:

you can tell he did not try to actually shoot the cop when he knew he was going into their line of fire
kinda sad you work your whole life and still end up broke.
Im sure he was broke University Professors unless Published and maybe something else aren't paid great, and he seemed to always have done that
Also correct me if im wrong but he had NO KIDS of his own, no real family so he was a loner in many ways from a family standpoint (and went bizzerk..)
Was the shooter carrying a flashlight?
In the grand scheme of things the details of this guy’s life and frankly the crime itself are meaningless. Morbid curiosity is cool tho.Quote:
