LAS VEGAS, NV — Sixteen people were seriously injured late Thursday evening and another eight killed when a suicide bomber entered the Corinthian, Las Vegas Casino strapped with an explosive vest. The bomber, Keith Shaw, was wanted by the FBI in connection to a 2009 shooting murder in Arkansas connected with the anti-evolved terrorist organization Humanis First.
Reports indicate that Shaw entered the casino and rushed towards a crowd in the lobby before shouting a slogan tied to Humanis First before detonating the explosive. Authorities are investigating whether Shaw was motivated in his attacks by Corinthian chain owner Daniel Linderman's involvement with the Linderman Act that instituted Evolved Registration or had selected a specific target on his own.
An investigation into the bombing is expected to take several months, and the FBI has moved in to investigate the connections Shaw may have had to known local Humanis First members.

Acting on an anonymous tip received Friday night, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department uncovered a mass grave in the desert twenty miles north of the city late Sunday afternoon. The grisly find included six bodies, and although autopsies have not been completed on the remains, a source close to the investigation informed the local media that the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, leading investigators to believe that they are at least a year old. At least one of the victims' hands were cuffed behind their back.
Authorities are currently operating under the assumption that the grave may be drug-related or the work of local gangs, which have flourished after federal grant money for the Metro's Gang Task Force dried up several years ago.
Anyone with information about the killings is encouraged to contact the police through the department's the anonymous tip line or come down to the precinct in person.
