Man With Gun Spotted at Las Vegas Mall, No Shots Fired

Las Vegas Metro Police Department responded to multiple calls of a potential active shooter at the Boulevard Mall in Las Vegas, Nevada on Thursday with dozens of officers.
However reports from social media claiming that there was an active shooting turned out to be false as no shots were reportedly fired.
The police's twitter account released an initial statement on the incident at 8:23 p.m. local time.
"Officers are investigating a person with a gun call at the Boulevard Mall. No shots confirmed. No injuries reported. Maryland Pkwy from Desert Inn to Twain is closed. Please avoid the area," the tweet read.

LVMPD Deputy Chief Chris Jones held a press conference less than an hour after that initial tweet.
"This evening just before 7 p.m., there were several calls that came into our dispatch center reporting an individual armed with a rifle inside the Boulevard Mall," Jones said. "Obviously multiple units responded as well as Clark County Fire Department, Medic West and AMR, we take these very seriously. We obtained video of an individual who we believe was armed with a long gun."
Jones said the officers have swept the mall multiple times for the man with the long gun, yet have been unable to locate him.
"That individual has not been located yet, we have done three systematic searches of this entire mall, which is very large," Jones said. "It has taken us a while as you can imagine. So far we have not located the suspect."
Jones also confirmed there were no shots fired and no citizens injured as a result of the armed man.
"We do not know what the individual's intent was coming into the mall with that rifle, but that investigation will continue into the night. And hopefully we will locate this individual."
Following his statement Jones reported that the mall had been completely evacuated of all shoppers and gave a description of the person.
"The individual can be described as a male who was fully-clothed and wearing a mask."

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
