Las Vegas Strip Shooter Identified as 55-Year-Old Rolando Cardenas

A 55-year-old man has been identified as the lone shooter on the busy Las Vegas Strip Saturday night. 

Rolando Cardenas is accused of killing Gary Breitling, 57, of Sidney, Montana for no reason.

The gunman then barricaded himself in the vehicle, shutting down the Strip for hours.

He was booked into jail on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, burglary and opening fire on the bus. An attorney for him could not immediately be found.

A 48-hour hearing is scheduled for Monday, according to CBS affiliate KLAS-TV.

Another victim suffered injuries and was hospitalized but was expected to live.
