The Philippine Consulate in Los Angeles has yet to know if there are any Filipinos affected by the mass shooting on the main campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, on Wednesday, which killed three people.

Deputy Consul General Ambosio Enciso said they have already been in contact with Las Vegas authorities on the matters.

On Wednesday (US time), a lone shooter opened fire on the main campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, killing three people and wounding a fourth before the suspect was shot dead by police.

In a report from REUTERS, the police declined to publicly identify the assailant, going so far as to avoid any mention of the suspect's gender, nor did they give any information about the four victims struck by gunfire - three fatally - or their connection to the university.

The UNLV campus, located less than 2 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip, has a student enrollment of some 25,000 undergraduates and 8,000 post-graduates and doctoral candidates.

The sheriff said many students he encountered appeared to have been badly shaken, recalling how people were likewise traumatized in the aftermath of a mass shooting in 2017 when a gunman opened fire from a high-rise hotel window onto a music festival below along the Las Vegas Strip. Sixty people were killed and hundreds more were wounded in what still ranks as the deadliest mass shooting by a single gunman in U.S. history.
