EARLIER: Two assailants opened fire Tuesday afternoon at a school bus stop in northeast Las Vegas, sending six people to the hospital. Two of the victims remained hospitalized, one in critical condition, while suspects in the shooting remained at large.

The two assailants were waiting at the bus stop about 2 p.m., and they began firing shortly after students exited two buses.
