One confirmed dead in Carson City shooting; eight transported to hospitals

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.

…Ralph Swagler, owner of Locals Barbecue in the same strip mall as the IHOP, said he saw a man wearing a red shirt and black shorts pull up outside the IHOP in a blue minivan.

Swagler said the man had a rifle. He shot and killed a man on a motorcycle, then walked inside the IHOP and started shooting.

Swagler said the man spent several minutes there, then walked back outside into the parking lot and began firing into the Locals Barbecue and an H&R Block in the strip mall.

“This happens in third-world countries, not here,” Swagler said.
