LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas Metro Police are investigating the discovery of two bodies on a large property in the northern Las Vegas valley.

According to LVMPD, officers received a report about the two bodies around 4 p.m. in the 600 block of East Hammer Lane, near Ann Road and North 5th Street.

During a press conference, Lt. Jason Johansson said that officers arriving on the scene discovered the bodies of a male and female, both riddled with multiple gunshot wounds.

He added police are looking into a "possible murder-suicide."

While the investigation is ongoing, Johansson said the property is believed to be owned by the male. Preliminary investigation suggests that the murder-suicide is linked to a recent break-up between the two.
