At least one person was shot on US 95 in Henderson prompting authorities to shut down the highway, according to police.
Henderson police said the shooting was reported shortly before noon near Horizon Drive.
Highway 95 was closed from Horizon to Boulder Highway and Horizon Drive from Pacific to Highway 95 was closed, police said.
The alleged shooter had not been arrested and the scene remained “active,” police said.
Henderson police officer Alan Olvera, who declined to say how many people were shot, said investigators were working a “couple” different scenes.
The Regional Transportation Commission told motorist to expect “major delays.”
Motorist Andrew Stet was headed south on the highway when he encountered snarled traffic. As he approached the scene, he first saw emergency vehicles, and then a man being tended to by medics on the ground. He saw another person, who appeared to have a bloody leg, being treated by paramedics near an ambulance.
At the scene, a few motorcycles were parked off the shouder, so Stet initially thought there had been a crash, he said, adding that the motorcycles appeared intact.
