Two men died Tuesday in an apparent murder-suicide, Las Vegas police said.

Police were called at 10:43 a.m. to investigate a shooting near Bridle Court and Lasso Circle in eastern Las Vegas.

A man in his 50s had an argument with a 70-year-old man outside a home on Lariat Drive, police said, and the younger man shot the older man at least three times before turning the gun on himself.

Police said the 70-year-old man died outside the home, and the younger man was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where he died.
