Mother shoots daughter, then herself in apparent murder-suicide at Las Vegas hotel, police say

A mother fatally shot her young daughter before turning the gun on herself inside a Las Vegas hotel room, according to police.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) homicide Lt. Robert Price said at a Monday news conference that officers were initially called to the Rio Hotel & Casino around 10:45 a.m. local time on Sunday for a welfare check on the pair. 

After knocking and calling into the room for about 15 to 20 minutes, officers advised hotel security and cleared the call.
