LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — An arrest report reveals new information about a shooting near Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara Avenue on Tuesday.
Police say a woman who was shoplifting from a gift shop injured herself and two other people.
Mercedes Cage, 35, was visiting the "World's Largest Gift Shop," police said. A security guard said Cage took a sweater and left the building without paying.
The guard told police he confronted her in the parking lot and grabbed the sweater when Cage pulled out a gun and shot at two security guards.
One of the guards tackled her and, during the struggle, Cage shot herself in the armpit, the report states. A guard was also shot in the fray.
Cage now faces multiple charges, including attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon. Clark County jail records showed Cage was jailed on a $200,000 bond.
