The Metropolitan Police Department investigated a report of a person with a gun Monday afternoon at a Strip casino.

The police were called at 3:15 p.m. to the MGM Grand hotel-casino, according to a police email.

There is no credible information that any shots have been fired, and no victims have been located, the email said.

A tweet from Metro captain Dori Koren later deemed the property safe, saying, “Our units responded within seconds and confirmed there was no shooting and no evidence of a gun crime at all.”
