Law office releases statement after fatal shooting of lawyer, son's ex-wife and her new husband4/9/2024 By: KTNV Staff Posted at 10:38 AM, Apr 08, 2024 LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Three people are dead after a shooting at a law office in the Summerlin area on Monday morning. A source tells us shots were fired amid a deposition, and that the shooter killed two people before fatally shooting himself. Additional sources told Channel 13 police were responding to Prince Law Group, with offices located on the corner of Charleston Boulevard and Pavilion Center Drive. Prince Law Group released the following statement regarding Monday's shooting: With profound sadness, Prince Law Group would like to thank everyone who has reached out to us with heartfelt messages of concern and sympathy over the tragic violence that occurred this morning in our offices. We ask that you please respect the privacy of the families involved. More Channel 13 is also learning new details regarding the relationship between Ashley Prince and her ex-husband Dylan Houston. Court records revealed the two were married in October 2017 and after four years and two kids, Dylan Houston filed for divorce. At first, the couple split custody evenly, but in the spring of 2022, Ashley asked to modify the custody agreement. The court also ordered Dylan to undergo regular drug and alcohol screenings and to remain at least 100 yards away from Ashley's home, work, and parents' home. Ashley and Dennis Prince were married in late 2023. Lt. Jason Johansson provided new details regarding the shooting. A total of seven people were present during the shooting: three representing one party, three representing the other, and a court reporter. He added that the building is expected to reopen tomorrow except for Suite 560, where the crime took place. Multiple sources in both law enforcement and the legal community have identified attorney Joe Houston as the gunman who killed two people and himself at a Summerlin area law office this morning. Among the victims are Houston's former daughter-in-law, Ashley Prince, and her new husband, attorney Dennis Prince, sources say. Those same sources explain that Joe Houston was representing his son, Dylan Houston (also an attorney), in child custody proceedings with Ashley Prince — who was being represented in those same proceedings by her new husband. Joe Houston, Ashley Prince and Dennis Prince were present for a deposition in the custody case involving Ashley and her former husband (Houston's son). The former couple have two young children together. Houston is said to have shot Ashley and Dennis Prince before turning the weapon on himself. Sources also tell us that the now-deceased couple (Dennis and Ashley Prince) recently welcomed a new baby — their only child together. "In times of darkness, it is often the strength of our unity that sees us through. Today, we find ourselves grappling with the aftermath of a tragedy that has shaken not only a community but the very fabric of our profession. The recent shootings at a family law office in Las Vegas have left us all reeling, as we come to terms with the senseless loss of life and the profound impact on those left behind. As members of the legal community, we are not immune to the pain and anguish that accompanies such a horrific event. We are bound by a shared commitment to justice, compassion, and the pursuit of truth. Yet, in the face of tragedy, we must also come together to offer solace and support to those who need it most. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, whose lives have been forever altered by this unfathomable act of violence. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues in Las Vegas, as they navigate through this unimaginable ordeal. In times like these, it is imperative that we lean on one another for strength and support, drawing on the resilience of our community to guide us forward."

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARDARGUMENTS & GUILT-TRIPPING BY RYAN... Led To Separation according to TMZ Gypsy Rose Blanchard's post-prison fairytale with her husband came to an end last week -- and now ... we know exactly what led up to the split. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Gypsy has been telling family and friends that her estranged hubby, Ryan Anderson, had become super argumentative post-prison release and was constantly making her feel like she couldn't do anything right. We're told one of the major sticking points in Gypsy and Ryan's relationship was his apparent jealousy over her spending time with her dad -- that's what our sources say Gypsy has been telling people anyway. Instead of supporting her bond with her father, we're told Gypsy feels like Ryan made her feel guilty about not spending that time with him exclusively. After spending years behind bars, we're told Gypsy was eager to reconnect and build relationships with her family ... and our sources say she felt suffocated by Ryan's constant guilt-tripping. We're also now hearing Gypsy's inner circle had serious concerns about Ryan's intentions -- especially over the fact he only reached out to Gypsy on a dare.
