Shooter opens fire at Nevada casino, killing 2 and injuring several others
The suspected shooter at the Grand Sierra Resort was among those taken to a hospital, said Dr Chad Kingsley, district health officer for the Northern Nevada Public Health Department.
Officers arrived less than three minutes after the first shots rang out and fired at the suspect, police said in a statement. Authorities did not release the conditions of the suspect or the three others who were injured.
The resort is one of Reno's most prominent venues, hosting concerts, sporting events and a campaign rally by US President
Donald Trump before the 2024 election. Near the California border and just northeast of Lake Tahoe, the town is a popular summer tourist destination.
Hotel guests heard several shots coming from the resort's valet area around 7.30am.
Michael Sisco, 60, said he was in his room and about to head to the valet for his car when he heard popping sounds. He looked out of his window and saw people screaming and running from the valet area.
He said he saw a man holding his stomach and staggering before falling motionless next to a car. Sisco moved away from the window as the gunshots continued.

5 soldiers shot at US Army's Fort Stewart base in Georgia, shooter in custody
Five American soldiers were shot at the Fort Stewart base in the state of Georgia on Wednesday, and the suspected shooter is in custody, US Army officials said. The soldiers were treated on site and then transported to Winn Army Community Hospital for further treatment, Fort Stewart said in a social media post. 'There is no active threat to the community,' the post said. Parts of the base in southeast Georgia were locked down after the shooter was reported on the sprawling Army post, a spokesperson said. A post on a Fort Stewart social media account told all personnel in the locked down area to 'stay inside, close and lock all windows and doors'. Located about 64km (40 miles) southwest of Savannah, Fort Stewart is the largest Army post east of the Mississippi River. It is home to thousands of soldiers assigned to the Army's 3rd Infantry Division and family members.

Canadian Maga fans living in US not safe from immigration clamp
Call it karma for Maga. In their high-profile cases, two 'Make America Great Again' Canadian supporters of Donald Trump who have lived legally – arguably – for years in the United States were respectively detained and denied re-entry by US immigration authorities. The family of Cynthia Olivera, a 45-year-old mother of three US-born children, voted for Trump, even though it was Joe Biden's policy that enabled her to work legally in the US while applying for permanent residency – also called a green card – after living in the country without legal status for decades. Olivera was 10 when her parents brought her to the US from Toronto without applying for immigration, according to The Guardian newspaper. She was detained in California while being interviewed about her green card application, and is now awaiting deportation. Her husband Francisco Olivera, a US citizen, was quoted as saying: 'We feel totally blindsided. I want my vote back.' A bit late for that! Trump's election promise to go after dangerous violent criminals who are living illegally in the US greatly appealed to the couple. Now, though, the vast majority of those being detained and deported – some to places such as South Sudan and El Salvador – are like Cynthia Olivera, who are neither violent, dangerous, nor criminal. Meanwhile, last month, Chris Landry, a 46-year-old Canadian citizen and long-time US green card holder, was denied re-entry after a trip to Canada. He was allowed back in this week after a court intervention.
