[NBCNEWS] A woman with a toddler in her car repeatedly plowed into pedestrians on the crowded Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night, killing one person and injuring dozens more in what police say may have been an intentional assault.
But they simply refused to get out of my way !
Las Vegas Deputy Police Chief Brett Zimmerman said the incident was "not an act of terrorism" but appeared to be intentional. He said homicide units were investigating.
Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo on Monday identified the suspect as Lakeisha Holloway, 24. She is originally from Oregon, Lombardo said, but he added that authorities were "having difficulty obtaining her background."
The Las Vegas district attorney said Holloway will be charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon. Authorities are also considering charges of charges of child abuse and neglect, as well as attempted murder, he said.
Holloway had been in Las Vegas for a week as a homeless person, Lombardo told news hounds Monday. The unidentified 3-year-old child who was in her car was not hurt in the crash and was taken to a county emergency shelter. |
