fox5's adam herbets is live at the scene near fremont and 21-st street with an update on how much longer this could go on. well john christine last time we got an update from the police was about a few hours ago but they just sent out a tweet saying the situation remains on going expect road closures for several more hours several more hours and that's a long time especially considering that this whole thing started in the afternoon when the sun was still out it was about 1245 please say the suspect they're looking for the guy who's hold up up in that motel fired a gun at somebody... he missed he didn't hit anyone but then after that that's when he went up into the room that's when the police got involved and ever since then they say he is refused to come out they say they know he's in there but they they're taking every precaution to make sure this whole area is safe and that they are safe as well because they're trying to get him out in a peaceful manner themselves again there aren't any injuries in this case they're trying to keep it that way the victim is cooperating with police but

fox5's adam herbets found out... this was likely a domestic shooting, but there's more to the story. well the north las vegas police department has already interviewed all of the witnesses. there were only two other people inside the home... but the case is still under investigation... and of course that means -- the police can't say too much. but they did tell us this... they are still looking into the possibility that this was a murder... but they're also looking into the possibility that this could have been self- defense... or that the woman is the one who may have fired the gun. the police also told us -- they have never been called out to that address before for domestic violence. now -- we know the names of the people who lived here... but at this point, just for the family's privacy, we're not going to release the name of the victim or any suspects. it was a 47-year- old woman who lived there with neighborhood say they were a nice couple. they were fun to talk to. they were helpful. and now all of these neigh
