People had more than gambling on their minds in Las Vegas, as a gun battle erupted on the Las Vegas Strip which resulted in three deaths and at least three more that were injured.

Passengers in a black Range Rover started shooting at a black Maserati, which resulted in the three deaths, two of which were the result of an accident when the Maserati smashed into a taxi. The taxi driver and a passenger were killed in a fiery burst of flame. Also killed was the driver of the Maserati.

According to police, the driver of the Range Rover fled the scene.

The shooting and accidents took place near the intersection where Caesars Palace and Bellagio are, at  Las Vegas Boulevard South and Flamingo Road, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

For those who think gun control could have stopped the types of people participating in this exchange of gun fire, you're extremely delusional. People like this will always be able to get guns, and the only way to stop them is with an armed populace.
