Suspect in UNLV shooting had more than 150 rounds of ammunition: Police

The suspect in Wednesday's deadly shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, was armed with more than 150 rounds of ammunition and used a handgun he legally purchased last year, authorities said Thursday. The suspect — a former college professor identified by Las Vegas police as Anthony Polito, 67 — was killed in a shootout with responding officers about 10 minutes after shots were first reported at UNLV's Beam Hall, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a media briefing. The suspect, who was pronounced dead at the scene, had pulled up to the campus with 11 magazines, and nine loaded magazines were found on his person, McMahill said.
