In a tragic mass shooting at a North Las Vegas apartment complex, five people were killed by 47-year-old Eric Adams.

The ex-girlfriend managed to escape and alert authorities before Adams fled and committed suicide as police closed in.
The victims were the ex-girlfriend's daughter, her girlfriend, a neighbor who tried to intervene, and the neighbor's grandmother and mother.
Kayla Harris, who played basketball at Adams State University, was mourned by the university's president.
The community is in shock and grieving the loss of innocent lives.
Police are still investigating the motive behind the shooting.
Residents emphasize the importance of empathy and making better choices in the aftermath.
