Four people were dead and one was wounded in a shooting involving police on Tuesday morning in Henderson, a city in the US state of Nevada.

Upon their arrival at the scene of the shooting, Henderson Police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds and a "possible suspect" in a nearby car.
