LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police say it's believed a sledgehammer was used to fatally bludgeon a woman in an apparently random attack at a laundromat where the victim was doing her laundry alone.
Police Lt. Ray Spencer said officers detained a man with a sledgehammer and blood on his hands in the vicinity of the laundromat where the victim was found fatally injured at 5:10 a.m. Thursday.
Spencer said the woman had called 911 to report she was alone inside the laundromat and that a man was outside with a sledgehammer.
Spencer said the woman screamed and the line went dead and that there was no indication the woman knew the man.
No identities were released.
