2 killed, 6 injured in Las Vegas stabbing attack

Two people were killed and six were injured in a stabbing along the Las Vegas Strip Thursday morning. Police later said a suspect had been arrested.

One of the victims was pronounced dead at the scene and another at University Medical Center, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement. Three of the victims were in critical condition, LVMPD Captain Dori Koren said Thursday in a press conference. 

The other victims "appeared to be stable," Koren said. The victims appeared to be a combination of locals and tourists, LVMPD Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said at another press conference later in the afternoon.
