A Las Vegas woman is facing multiple murder charges Saturday in the shooting deaths of her three roommates, who lived in what authorities described as a "problem house."
Christine Sanchez, 47, is currently being held in a county jail on three counts of open murder with a deadly weapon. According to Las Vegas police, she had been in an ongoing dispute with her roommates. When the victims returned to the home Friday afternoon, all four got into an altercation.
It was at that point Sanchez pulled out a handgun and shot the trio multiple times, police said.
Responding officers found two men in one bedroom and a woman in a second bedroom. All of them were pronounced dead at the scene.
Their names were not released.
Police Lt. Dan McGrath told the Las Vegas Sun that seven to eight people may have been inside the house, which he described as a "crash house" where people came and went.

This is the first time I have heard the term “open murder.”
It’s exactly the opposite of a closed murder.
So uncivilized .
Darwinian theory at work.
That woman looks like she should be boiling the scalps of white-eyes around the fire of an Apache camp.
I would NOT mess with her.
“Crash house” equals Drug Den???
In the comments below the story someone asks “Exactly what is “open murder”?”
and the answer he got is “She didn’t shut the front door completely?”
Yep. That about sums up the brilliance of the term.
‘Crash house”==’Crack house” all over Nevada.
A Nevada term in their laws.
She’s got Elizabeth Warren’s cheekbones.
That’s a crack cocaine face.
Haha. She sure does.

A prosecutor may charge "Open Murder", which is a combination of First and Second Degree Murder, and the jury may determine the appropriate degree based on the proofs.
—she had a previous murder case “dismissed”—
Wow.
She’s screwed.
Meth seems more likely, but yeah, in that general space.
“Murder with a Deadly Weapon”? Is it possible to commit murder with a weapon that’s not deadly? Politicians.
