Suspect in Las Vegas University Shooting Named as College Professor
Las Vegas Shooting Suspect Was Professor Who Recently Applied For a Job at UNLV

The Guardian 7 DEC 2023
The suspect, Anthony Polito, in the killing of three people at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus on Wednesday has been named as a college professor who had failed to win a job there, according to police officials.
A fourth victim was critically wounded in the attack, which took place at approximately 11.45am local time, the Las Vegas metro police department said.
Students and professors were forced to barricade themselves in classrooms and dormitories across the 332-acre (135-hectare) campus after getting an alert about a shooter. At approximately 12.30pm local time, the police department said the suspect had “been located and is deceased.”
The gunman was a professor who had unsuccessfully sought a job at the school, a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation told the Associated Press. He previously worked at East Carolina University in North Carolina, said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information publicly.
Citing multiple sources in law enforcement, ABC News identified the suspect as Anthony Polito, 67, and said he was also linked to a college in Georgia.
