The Bellagio Hotel and Casino went on temporary lockdown early Saturday morning after shots were fired during a burglary at a high-end retail store inside, police said.
Las Vegas police said in a statement Saturday that a preliminary investigation suggested that at least three people entered the store and one of them fired gunshots. No one was injured and a suspect has been taken into custody.
An eyewitness, who was at the Bellagio at the time, told The Sun Online: “I saw a person in a pig mask holding what looked like a gun outside the Rolex in the Bellagio. He was yelling.”
