CARSON CITY, NV - Carson City sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting in the area of the IHop on South Carson Street.
Details are very sketchy, but initial reports indicate that more than one person has been shot on the 3800 block of Carson Street and a suspect is still in the area.
We have a crew on the way and we'll update this story as information becomes available.
Under Harry Reid's leadership, do you expect better? That said, prayers up for anyone involved here. Sounds like a pretty dire situation.
According to RGJ, it’s sounding more like a terrorist attack. Guy gets out of van and shoots guy off motorcycle, then goes in IHOP blazing away. Comes out and shoots more in parking lot and into a casino across the way, and in various shops around there...Messed up.
Shooter taken to hospital where Sherrif says “he will probably die”...
Carson’s still pretty quiet ... But as you say, it takes only one nutcase to rile up a town.
Good news.
The Hoffa statement was my first thought as well. Bet it never enters the MSM’s mind though.
Fox News reporting that the gunman shot himself.
10:30 a.m. update: Lt. Rob Van Diest of the Reno Police Department said one person has been confirmed dead.
Four victims have been transported to Carson-Tahoe Hospital in Carson City. Three of them are in surgery.
Four victims were transported to Renown Regional Medical Center, two in critical condition and two with less-serious injuries

Yah, it’s been my impression from other “ex-boyfriend rampage” sorts of shooting events that the shooter has tended to after the object of their rage ~first~ and then take out a bunch of others. It’s a little odd to me that he’d step out and first just pop somebody passing by on a motorbike before going inside, presumably where the gal he was after would be.
Fast and Furious Obomaweapon? I hope they check it.
I’m sure it enters their mind and then they think, “how can we blame the Tea Party or Conservative Talk Radio?”
I’ve never understood this kind of rage.
No “boyfriend,” nor really any jealously over anything a spouse to could to me is worth killing them over ...or killing others over.
What does that take? Extreme ego? Lack of self control? An extremely sick mind?

What does that take? Extreme ego? Lack of self control? An extremely sick mind? Or perhaps the feeling that another person is YOUR property, “belongs” only to you, etc.
It’s sick.
Baloney!!
Entitlement mentality? I have a "right" to have her?
Shooter dead in that case. Apparently some nut who had just shot someone in the head and then fired at witnesses. The cop located him and they exchanged fire. Cop is ok, perp is dead.
Fox reporting at least of the three of the eight victims Dead, the shooter who shot himself!
