Recent autopsy results have provided new details into the tragic shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where four faculty members were targeted, resulting in three deaths. The report, as confirmed by News3LV, revealed that the gunman, Anthony Polito, had both a painkiller and an erectile dysfunction drug in his blood at the time of his death. Specifically, Polito had oxycodone and tadalafil, more commonly known as Cialis, in his system.

Tadalafil was present at 84 nanograms per milliliter, and oxycodone levels were measured at 15 nanograms per milliliter, below the Department of Transportation's cutoff of 100 nanograms per milliliter for drug testing. A forensic pathologist ruled that Polito died from multiple gunshot wounds, and his death was categorized as a homicide, with an opinion signed on June 15. On the fateful day of December 6, Polito engaged in a fatal shootout with two university officers after he shot the four individuals inside Beam Hall on the UNLV campus, Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

The incident left three faculty members, Drs. Patricia Navarro Velez, Cha-Jan "Jerry" Chang, and Naoko Takemaru, deceased. An fourth victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous, survived the ordeal. Polito, a former university instructor who had previously applied for positions at UNLV without success, was linked to these shootings through evidence at the scene, including a notecard listing faculty members from UNLV and East Carolina University. Nevertheless, none of the victims' names were listed on this card, as per Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Detailed in the same autopsy report was the discovery of what appeared to be a laminated notecard with names and room numbers. At the scene, Polito's body was found with a cigarette case and a Taurus 9mm handgun, as well as pouches containing nine magazines. He was dressed in a coat and tie. He had 150 rounds of ammunition and was armed with what police described as a target list, indicating the calculated nature of the attack.
