Shooting with multiple injuries reported at Reno, Nevada, casino with a suspect in custody
Reno, nev. – A shooter who opened fire just outside a casino in Reno, Nevada, shot several people on Monday morning before being arrested, police said.
The conditions of the victims of the Grand Sierra Resort were not immediately known, said RENO police spokesperson Chris Johnson. The shooter was treated in a hospital, said Johnson.
The shooting was reported around 7:30 a.m. Monday outside in the valet region, Johnson said.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department of the County of Washoe said that an officer was involved in the shooting.
Reno police warned the residents to stay outside the region. Several emergency vehicles, including several ambulances, responded outside the casino.
The Grande Sierra claims to have the largest Casino floor in northern Nevada and is a few houses of Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It is also one of the highest buildings in the city, with nearly 2,000 hotel rooms.
“My heart breaks for the victims, their families and our entire community. Reno is strong – but we are not immune to the epidemic of armed violence by entering this nation,” said Devon Reese, member of the municipal council, in a position of social media.
