Shooting at Reno casino leaves multiple people injured, police say
Crime Gun violence PolicingFacebookTweetLink Follow A gunman opened fire early Monday morning at a resort and casino in Reno, leaving two people dead and at least three people injured as guests were startled by a spray of gunfire that could be heard from their rooms inside, according to law enforcement and health officials. The suspect, who is now in police custody, was seen pacing the parking lot for about 45 minutes before the shooting, a law enforcement official briefed on the incident told CNN. The gunman initially opened fire, but their gun jammed, the official said. Once he cleared the jam, he resumed shooting. Two people were found dead when law enforcement arrived, and three injured people were taken to the hospital, according to Northern Nevada District Health Officer Dr. Chad Kingsley. Renown Regional, a local health system, said its emergency department received several patients with gunshot wounds early Monday morning. The gunman was also injured and transported to the hospital, Kingsley said. The gunman's motive is still unknown, and investigators are speaking to the suspect, the law enforcement official said. The victims do not appear to be connected. The shooting was reported around 7:30 a.m. Monday outside the casino in the valet area, Reno police spokesperson Chris Johnson told The Associated Press. Inside, resort guest Michael Sisco was about to head outside when he heard 'unmistakable gun shots' in 'rapid succession,' he told CNN. 'I looked out the window and saw people running,' Sisco said. He saw one person, who appeared to be shot, stumble and crawl to a nearby car and then laid down on the ground. After the incident, Sisco heard an announcement over the resort intercom which warned of 'an active law enforcement incident outside.' It informed guests, 'You are safe inside.' Guests later received a text from the resort that said, 'We currently have a law enforcement situation on property which has been contained. We apologize for any inconvenience as we continue to resolve the situation.' Photos taken by Sisco show emergency vehicles, including an ambulance, fire truck and police cars, outside the casino following the incident. The resort entrance was still closed off at 10 a.m. local time, Sisco said, though guests were allowed to leave from a different exit. The entire valet parking area was roped off. Reno council member Devon Reese called the incident 'yet another act of senseless gun violence.' 'My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and our entire community. Reno is strong — but we are not immune to the epidemic of gun violence gripping this nation,' Reese said in a social media post. This is a developing story and will be updated.
