LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities say four men have been shot and wounded at a hotel-casino in downtown Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Metro Police say one of the victims is hospitalized in critical condition while the three other men suffered wounds not considered life-threatening.

The names and ages of the victims weren’t immediately released.

Police say officers were called to the El Cortez about 1:45 a.m. Sunday.

They say the shooting appeared to be the result of a dispute that occurred on the fifth floor of the hotel.

Some of the victims went down to the casino floor where they received medical attention.

Police say a possible suspect in the shootings has been detained for questioning.

The El Cortez had reopened by 11 a.m. Sunday.
