LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Support and resources are available for those impacted by the UNLV shooting.

ABC News reports that at least three people were killed, and police report that there appear to be multiple victims. One suspect is down, and police say there is "no further threat."

Reports came in of an active shooter on campus at 11:59 a.m. Wednesday.

Nevada officials were quick to provide resources for those in need after the shooting.

Clark County officials say those looking for loved ones who were on the UNLV campus can call 702-455-AIDE (2433) or go to facofsouthernnevada.org. The Family Reunification Center is located at the Convention Center, North Hall 1 & 2.

"It will take some time, but we will transport those who are on campus to the Convention Center to be reunified and to provide assistance," Clark County officials said.

Additionally, as of 9:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, the UNLV campus has been completely reopened, with the exception of Beam Hall, where an investigation is still underway.

Those looking to retrieve essential belongings from campus should head to the UNLV Transit Center.

"We have staff on-site to help all those who need any assistance because of today’s tragic events," officials say.
