At least three people were fatally shot with several more hospitalized after a shooting at a casino in Reno, Nevada on Monday, according to local authorities.
The gunman was taken into custody and is being treated at a hospital.
The shooting was reported around 7:30 a.m. Monday outside in the valet area, Johnson said. A spokesperson with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Department said an officer was involved in the shooting.
In addition to those who were killed and the people taken to the hospital, three more were treated for injuries at the resort, according to Devon Reese, chair of the Board of Health in northern Nevada. One person was grazed by a bullet on their pinky finger, one was treated for severe anxiety and one was injured while running, he said.
The Grand Sierra claims to have the biggest casino floor in northern Nevada and sits just a few blocks from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport. It’s also one of the tallest buildings in the city, with nearly 2,000 hotel rooms.
Last fall, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in the resort’s main ballroom.
