Authorities have identified three people killed at a home in northwest Las Vegas this week as a troubled son who killed his parents before killing himself.

The Clark County coroner on Friday said the deaths of 69-year-old Arthur Wulf and 66-year-old Jan Morgan-Wulf were homicides, and the shooting death of 36-year-old Aaron Wulf was a suicide.

Police reported finding the three dead Wednesday at a home in a gated community in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas.

Wulf sent a suicide note in the form of a 585-page manifesto to 8 News NOW before he committed the crimes. Wulf said he reached out for help, but no one would listen.

"Some things deep inside that I've been trying for 35 years; I have been trying to have someone take seriously," Wulf said on a voice recording.

But here's the question: Could warning signs have stopped Wulf from killing his parents?

Parts of the Western U.S. are getting an early taste of scorching summer heat, forcing officials in California, Oregon and desert Southwest states to heed the warnings of dangerous, triple-digit temperatures in this first week of June.

Organizers rescheduled California's state track and field championship events to start in the evening hours on Friday and Saturday.

Marching bands have asked officials with the Portland Rose Festival in Oregon if they can take off their hats and change their uniforms during judged performances to help stay cool over the weekend.

The severity of the forecast is also putting the area around Southern Nevada under an excessive heat warning, from Las Vegas to the California and Arizona borders. ... Read More

Startling new details have emerged about a man who police say shot and killed his parents before turning the gun on himself.

Aaron Wulf, the alleged killer, mailed 8 News NOW a 585 page manifesto and voice recording before the double murder-suicide.

Metro Police says the 36-year-old suffered from mental illness.

In his nearly 600 page note, Wulf said he had to kill his mom and dad and himself because he had dealt with so much abuse in his life and it had to stop.

"If you are listening to this that means I am dead," Wulf said on the recording.

In the chilling audio from Wulf, he says he was physically and sexually abused as a child.

"I remember going to kindergarten with bruises so bad I couldn't sit down," he said... Read More

Attention parents: CCSD needs your opinion. Safety, academics, and school climate are among the many topics that are the focus of the 2016 Clark County School District's Parent Survey.

The 10-minute survey, available in English and Spanish, is confidential and part of the district's efforts to engage the community on important issues facing students and their families.

A Las Vegas judge dealt a blow to opponents of Nevada's School Choice bill. District Court Judge Eric Johnson recently dismissed a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union that was seeking to declare the law unconstitutional.

The judges decision is listed in 45 pages of documents, in which Judge Johnson found the school choice law constitutional because it doesn't violate the religious funding law. But the ACLU, who filed the lawsuit, disagrees with this assessment and the decision.

"Judge Johnson, I think gave a very thorough decision," said Gov. Brian Sandoval, R-Nevada.

The governor of Nevada is pleased with the judge's decision regarding the Education Savings Account Program.

So what was the issue?

The issue at hand was whether or not public funds could be allocated toward funding private religious, educational institutions... Read More
