The ongoing investigation is expected to yield additional video releases. Polito, armed with a 9 mm handgun and over 150 rounds, had been denied teaching positions at UNLV.

Authorities discovered a “target list” of faculty members from UNLV and East Carolina University, although none of the victims were named on it.

Polito’s motive for the attack remains undisclosed by the police.

Police conducted a door-to-door search in the business school. A report of “shooting through the wall” was debunked by an officer, clarifying they were breaching doors with no shots fired.
