In The News: University Police Department

Anyone entering UNLV’s Beam Hall will not notice any evidence of the deadly shooting in December 2023. Many damaged doors are repaired, and new security measures may be hard to spot. UNLV officials say keeping Beam Hall like it was before the shooting was intentional.

Beam Hall is the home of the Lee Business School at UNLV. It has several classrooms and faculty offices inside. This is where a deadly shooting happened on December 6, 2023, that left three dead and one wounded.

The site of a tragic shooting at UNLV last year reopened to the public Tuesday morning with new security features. It comes eight months after a shooter disgruntled over being rejected for a job killed three faculty members and left a fourth injured in Frank and Estella Beam Hall during a campus shooting on Dec. 6, 2023. The building houses faculty offices and the business school.

When UNLV students return to Frank and Estella Beam Hall for classes in two weeks, nothing should look too different from last December — before the building was closed after a shooting spree that resulted in the death of three professors and left another severely wounded.

UNLV’s Beam Hall — which has been closed to the public since three professors were shot and killed on Dec. 6 — reopened Tuesday morning with new security and armed officers.

Things are looking a little different as UNLV students and professors return to campus this semester. From therapy dogs and new security measures that are now in place — all of these efforts are part of UNLV’s Rebel Recovery Program.

The move would allow the department to rehire retired officers, mirroring a similar designation from the agency in 2022.

The event will run from 3:30-5 p.m. on Feb. 27.

It’s already been two months since the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus shooting in early December that left three professors dead and one seriously injured. The shooter was killed by UNLV police.

It has been almost two months since a deadly shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas left three university staff members dead.

The start of classes Tuesday marks the first time students will return to in-person classes since last month’s shooting that left 3 dead.

After the shooting at UNLV, campus safety is taking on a completely different meaning.
