Little is known about the man who barricaded himself inside the Caesars Palace hotel and casino this morning in Las Vegas.

However, a news camera from Fox 5 caught a brief glimpse of the man as he threw objects out the window of the building.

He appeared to be a young white man in shorts and yellow baseball cap.

The ongoing standoff in Las Vegas began when a man pulled a woman into his room at the Caesars Palace “by force,” according to police.

During a brief media update on Tuesday, a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson said a SWAT team is “in control of the situation, which is isolated to that room in the tower.”

“There are negotiators talking to the subject, trying to get him out,” the official added. “The female has been heard from and is still OK.”

Police added that no weapons have been seen and no shots have been fired, though the barricaded man has thrown objects out of his window.

Six years ago, another high-risk situation took place a Las Vegas casino just down the street from where a potential armed man is barricaded in the Caesars Palace casino.

In 2017, gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire using an arsenal of high-powered weapons from a room in the Mandalay Bay hotel-casino, killing 58 people and wounding hundreds in the deadliest shooting in modern US history.

Someone has broken a window on the Caesars Palace building and is throwing objects out, according to a bystander.

No official confirmation has been given over whether the apparent incident is related to the ongoing standoff at the hotel.
