A driver plowed into a sidewalk several times at the Las Vegas Strip, injuring more than 30 pedestrians in what authorities described as an "intentional" act.
At least one person was killed and 37 others injured near the Paris Las Vegas hotel Sunday night, authorities said.
The driver is in custody, and undergoing tests for alcohol and controlled substances.
A 3-year-old in the car with her was unharmed.
Authorities ruled out terrorism and disputed witnesses' reports of gunshots.
"This was not an act of terrorism," Deputy Police Chief Brett Zimmerman said. "We are treating this as an intentional act."
The driver, who is in her 20s, went on the sidewalk three or four times, according to Zimmerman.
He said the homicide division is investigating, and is looking at numerous surveillance videos from the Strip.
'She just kept mowing people down' Antonio Nassar, who was at the Strip, said people scrambled to stop the driver as she careened into the sidewalk.
