LAS VEGAS (AP) - An apparent murder-suicide left two employees of the Wynn Las Vegas hotel-casino dead, Las Vegas police said.

An employee who had not reported for work in two days drove into the employee parking garage Tuesday night and then killed a security guard who approached his vehicle to make a welfare check, police said.

The other employee then killed himself, police said.

The two men apparently didn’t know each other, police said.

The welfare check that occurred after the employee used his badge to enter the garage was prompted under hotel policy due to the other employee’s missed shifts, police said.

“You’re dealing with a hotel that has a very robust security procedure,” police Lt. Ray Spencer said.

Their identities were not released immediately.
