Police: Woman Intentionally Hit 30-Plus Pedestrians on Las Vegas Strip

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

Police said one person was killed and more than 30 were injured when a woman allegedly intentionally drove her car on a busy sidewalk along the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday night.

Speaking at a news conference on Monday, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Joe Lombardo told reporters that 24-year-old Lakeisha Holloway “repeatedly drove her car over pedestrians,” even as some ran up to her vehicle and pounded on her window asking her to stop.

Holloway remained in custody on Monday, prosecutors said. Police did not announce a motive.

Lombardo told reporters that it does not appear that the case was an act of terrorism, though the investigation was still in its infancy and he wasn’t entirely ruling that out as a potential motive.

The Strip was closed between Flamingo Road and Harmon Avenue while police investigated. That section of road is home to the Paris, Planet Hollywood and Bellagio hotels and casinos.

Lombardo told reporters that police were reviewing multiple surveillance videos from the Las Vegas Strip. He said police had “pretty detailed video that shows that it was an intentional act.”

District Attorney Steven Wolfson told reporters at the news conference that prosecutors will file an initial charge of murder with a deadly weapon, but additional charges would be forthcoming.

Those charges may include child abuse and neglect, Wolfson said, as Holloway had a 3-year-old girl in the vehicle at the time of the alleged incident. The child was not injured, authorities said.

Lombardo said at least three of the 30-plus injured suffered critical head injuries.
