Narrative:

On downwind to runway 11L in ktus we were briefly targeted by a green laser which we reported to approach. The contact was brief and did not affect the eyes of any of the crew present. We turned from downwind to base and after a minute or so the laser again began targeting us again. It was constant and accurate. The flight deck was lit on several occasions. I had a good idea were the laser was coming from on the ground and I positioned myself so as to use the metal around the windshield panels to shield my eyes from the strikes. Several more hits were made on the aircraft and I was aware that several swept rearwards along the fuselage.at this point we were with tower and we reported the continued laser strikes to tower. Our jump-seater had previously been a police officer in the area and he was able to pinpoint the street intersections it was originating from and we passed that on to the tower staff. We landed safely and taxied to the gate. I made a PA to the passengers and asked if anyone back there had had their shades open and had been hit in the eyes by the laser. I took the names and seat numbers of the affected passengers. There were 2 passengers who came forward. I have kept this information written on the flight release and will keep it; for company or FAA investigations that may ensue. I asked them if they had any pain; vision loss or any adverse effects. Both stated they felt no ill effects.no uas (undesired aircraft state) occurred. The threat was all from the exterior.
