UNLV Shooting: Former Professor Kills Three Faculty Members, Injures One

Anthony Polito, rejected for a teaching job at UNLV in 2020, carried out the shooting; university cancels classes and finals for the semester.

Anthony Polito, a former professor from North Carolina, opened fire at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), killing three faculty members and critically injuring another.
The deceased victims, all professors at UNLV, were identified as Cha-Jan 'Jerry' Chang, Patricia Navarro-Velez, and Naoko Takemaru.
Polito, who was shot and killed by UNLV police, had applied for a teaching job at UNLV in 2020 but wasn't hired.
Before the shooting, Polito mailed 22 letters with a white powder (found to be harmless) to university personnel across the country and had a 'target list' of faculty members, none of whom were among the victims.
In the aftermath of the shooting, UNLV has canceled classes and finals for the remainder of the semester, but the Winter Commencement ceremony will proceed as planned.
