Three people are dead and at least three wounded after a "rolling gun battle" and multi-vehicle crash on the Las Vegas strip, police have confirmed.
Sergeant John Sheahan said five vehicles were involved, including a taxi that burst into flames and killed two people at a busy intersection.
It deadly accident took place after people in a Maserati and a sport utility vehicle (SUV) began exchanging gunfire before the high-end sports car hit the taxi, he said.
Three other vehicles were involved in the wreck, but the SUV was gone when police arrived, he added.
Several people were taken to hospital, including a passenger from the Maserati. Four were taken to University Medical Centre.
Hospital spokeswoman Danita Cohen said three were treated and released, while one person remained in hospital. Their condition was not released.
The intersection is expected to be closed for hours as officers investigate.
A tourist who witnessed the aftermath of the crash told KLAS-TV the burning taxi looked like a fireball.
Sgt Sheahan said more people may be hurt.
The shooting and crash is the latest in a series of violent actions on the tourist corridor since the beginning of the year.
Two people were critically wounded in a shooting at a parking garage on February 6, and a tourist was stabbed in an elevator at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay on February 16.
A spokesman for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, Jeremy Handel, said his organisation did not immediately have a comment on the incident and deferred to the police unit that patrols the tourism district.
