No identity on the gunman yet. Some reports have it that he fired “randomly” on customers after shooting the man on the motorcycle outside. That doesn’t sound like a jealous boyfriend gunning for a waitress.
I’d like to know more about him, starting with his name.
Fox news just reported two of the dead uniformed National Gaurdsman

- 10 Total Shot - including Suspect
- 'Lone gunman' was shot - self inflicted wound and expected to die - on life support. He is @ hospital.
- 2 In Uniform Military (probably Air Guard) shot dead inside iHop. Because of this FBI and military personnel called in.
- 1 Victim died in surgery
- Other victims at Carson Tahoe & Renown Hospitals
Fox reporting two of the victims were members of the National Guard.
I would say it's an example of someone who acts before they think.
Look at O.J.
Da Juice is all high on himself and what not but I think the night he committed the murders he was high on drugs and in a fit of rage simply went off half-cocked.
That's why it wasn't a death penalty case, even though I have no doubt it was premeditated.
Fox is saying some of the dead are national guardsmen.
“religion of peace”, I wonder?
Nothing yet on the gunman? Strange.
Our men and women in uniform SHOULD NEVER BE DISARMED. Shame on those who outlaw weapons for those who are qualified to possess weapons.
We make them walking targets, for what, for protecting us?
The guy on the motorcycle mighta been sporting a "don't tread on me" flag, which offended the perp. You know what Hoff said: Gotta take out 'em sons of bitches.
Fixed it for you.
Officials: 2 of 3 killed in Nev. restaurant shooting were National Guardsmen
A third person was killed in addition to the servicemembers, and the gunman was not expected to survive, said Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong.
It wasn’t immediately clear whether the gunman had any connection with the military or the guard, said Nevada National Guard Sgt. Mike Getten. He said guard members were meeting at the restaurant.
If his first name were Kirby, Sven, Werner or some other typically Anglo-Saxon variant, the lamestream media would have provided that information in seconds.
[Updated at 2:18 p.m.] At least two of the victims killed at a shooting in a Carson City, Nevada, IHOP restaurant were military members who were wearing their uniforms, Chuck Allen with the Nevada Highway Patrol said Tuesday.
Allen said police were still looking to find the shooter’s possible motive but said regardless officials were taking precautions in case military personnel were being targeted.
“When you have people in uniform randomly targeted ... we take that seriously,” Allen said.

“wearing a red shirt”
Oh dear... someone was not up on his television tropes

Since they aren’t releasing name or race it makes one wonder if it is the ‘religion of peace’ again.

In Tennessee, you can get a carry permit. Several restaurants in Knoxville posted a no weapons allowed sign in retaliation (please, don’t get me started). I wonder if that particular IHOP has a no weapons policy? If this is the case, then all I have to say is, “Hey, IHOP, the only people who follow your stupid no weapons allowed rules are the law abiding types and they aren’t the ones you have to worry about”! If this isn’t the case, I take it all back.
My post was to point at the IN UNIFORM — TARGET ON THEIR BACKS problem.
Unionized LEO would never go anywhere unarmed, but any aspect of the military gets the target and bulls eye mentality.
From Carson City live chat - two dead were military guys - National Guard. Won’t name until families are notified.
