UNLV Gunman Identified: Unemployed Professor with Target List and Ammunition

TL;DR Summary
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) has announced that in-person classes for the semester have been canceled after a gunman killed three professors on campus. The shooter, identified as 67-year-old Anthony Polito, had a list of targets at the school but none of the victims were on that list. The motive for the attack is still unknown, but Polito, a former professor, had been struggling financially and had been previously denied job opportunities at various Nevada colleges and universities. Winter commencement ceremonies will proceed as scheduled, and President Joe Biden is set to meet with local leaders to offer condolences and support.
