Bachelor party participants among 3 killed in shooting outside Reno casino
Crime Gun violenceFacebookTweetLink Follow Two men in town for a bachelor party and a local man driving through a parking lot were killed in Monday morning's shooting outside a resort and casino in Reno, Nevada, police said. A suspect, 26-year-old Reno resident Dakota Hawver, was shot by Reno police officers outside Grand Sierra Resort on Monday morning and sent to a hospital, where he was in critical condition Tuesday, police in the neighboring city of Sparks said. Investigators allege Hawver first shot five people in the resort's valet area shortly before 7:30 a.m., killing two of them – Justin Aguila and Andrew Canepa, both 33-year-old Southern California residents – Sparks police said. Aguila and Canepa, in town with friends for a bachelor party, were shot from behind while waiting for a ride to an airport, police said. The sixth person shot and third person killed, 66-year-old Reno resident Angel Martinez, was driving his car through the resort's parking lot when he was shot several times, police said. Of the three injured survivors, one was treated and released Monday, and the other two were in a hospital Tuesday but are expected to make a full recovery, Sparks police said. Investigators have not identified a motive in the shooting, according to police. A multifaith candlelight vigil honoring the victims will be held Wednesday evening at the Unity Center of Reno, according to the organization's website. Aguila and Canepa were part of a 13-person group that was heading home after a bachelor party weekend, according to CNN affiliate KRNV, which spoke with the family of a group member who was shot but is expected to recover. Four of those shot in the valet area were members of the bachelor party, KRNV reported. Canepa was a co-owner of Side Street Cafe in Newbury Park, California, according to Jeff Gorell, a member of the board of supervisors in California's Ventura County. 'Andrew was a kind soul, a dedicated business owner, and a loving father to his young son,' Gorell said in a social media post. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the Side Street Cafe community during this incredibly difficult time. We will miss seeing his warm presence at the restaurant and are deeply saddened by this loss.' Canepa was a 'devoted dad' to his 6-year-old son and 'lit up every room he walked into,' according to a GoFundMe page set up to help the family. Martinez was one of 11 siblings, according to a GoFundMe page created by his niece. 'He (Martinez) had a lifelong love of cooking, just like many of his brothers, and spent more than three decades working in restaurants and casinos throughout Reno,' a description on the fundraising page reads. 'His greatest joy was being a father and grandfather.' The suspect was seen pacing the parking lot of the resort – located less than 3 miles east of downtown Reno – for about 45 minutes before the shooting, a law enforcement official briefed on the incident told CNN. At some point, the gunman walked into the resort's valet area and began shooting, striking five, before fleeing through the parking lot and shooting Martinez, Sparks Police Chief Chris Crawforth said. Police officers found the suspect in the parking lot, and he began firing at them, police said. Reno police officers then shot the suspect, Crawforth said, without specifying how many officers shot him. Because Reno officers shot Hawver, Sparks police will take a lead role in the investigation of the whole incident, Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance said Monday. The six Reno police officers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative leave, which is standard policy, Reno police spokesperson Chris Johnson told CNN Tuesday. Investigators have not found any connection between the suspect and the victims, Sparks police said. Hawver did not have a criminal record or any documented mental health issues, police said. It is unclear if charges have been filed in Monday's shooting. CNN's Elizabeth Wolfe, John Miller, Sara Smart and Amanda Musa contributed to this report

Shane Tamura Midtown Manhattan Shooting: What We Know About The Gunman Who Kills 5 Including NYPD Officer
New York City — In a horrifying turn of events, Shane Tamura Manhattan Shooting, a 27-year-old private investigator from Las Vegas, opened fire inside a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper on Monday evening, killing five people—including an NYPD officer—before dying of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Shane Tamura Midtown Manhattan shooting began around 6:30 p.m. at 345 Park Avenue, a high-profile office building that houses Blackstone asset management and the NFL headquarters. 🔫 Gunman Identified as Shane Tamura Authorities have confirmed that Shane Tamura was the gunman. He had traveled from Las Vegas and was in possession of a concealed carry permit issued by the Las Vegas Sheriff's Department. Tamura previously worked as a licensed private investigator and had a history in high school football. According to officials, Tamura entered the building dressed in a sport coat, concealing a high-powered assault rifle —later identified as a modified weapon from Palmetto State Armory —and opened fire in the building's lobby, where roughly 30 people were present. 👮 NYPD Officer Among the Victims Officer Didarul Islam, who was working private security, was fatally shot. Three other civilians were also killed, and multiple others injured in the chaos. Police say Tamura exchanged gunfire with officers before fleeing to the 33rd floor, where he was later found dead. 🚨 Office Workers Barricaded Themselves Shocking photos from the scene show office workers barricading themselves with couches, attempting to shield themselves from the gunfire as the situation unfolded. Authorities received multiple emergency calls as panic spread throughout the building. 🧠 Motive Under Investigation While no clear motive has been officially confirmed, NBC New York reports that Tamura may have been targeting the NFL offices. The incident is being treated as a critical security event, with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Acting Governor Anya Williams both responding swiftly. Commissioner Fitz Bailey described the attack as 'indiscriminate violence meant to incite fear,' calling it one of the most severe acts of gun violence in the city this year. 🧩 Conclusion: The Shane Tamura Midtown Manhattan shooting has left the city in shock, with many questions still unanswered. As investigations continue, New Yorkers mourn the victims and demand greater security in high-profile urban spaces. This event serves as a grim reminder of the ongoing threat of gun violence—even in the heart of one of the world's most secure cities.

India's shooting league gets international federation support: ‘We are ready to receive attention'
The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) put its weight behind the upcoming Shooting League of India (SLI), a National Rifle Association of India-organised event, stating that the event was part of the ISSF's design to keep the sport in the Olympic programme. Shooting has been excluded from the Commonwealth Games on multiple occasions. It was excluded from this year's World University Games, too. The withdrawal of the programme, coupled with pressure from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has forced the world body to think outside the box. 'ISSF is working very hard for marketing, for communication, because it is really important because we realize that people don't know what we are, what we do. We know very well inside the family, but it's not enough. We have to open not only the door, but also the window in the world, and we are ready to receive attention,' ISSF president Luciano Rossi admitted in a virtual media roundtable on Monday. One part of this push is to align with the discipline of eSports, now a programme that features prominently in the plans of the IOC. NRAI president Kalikesh Singh Deo was recently appointed as the interim chairperson of the ISSF Committee on eSports and Innovations and has ensured that there will be eSports at the Shooting League of India. 'We also understand the pressures and the pulls of the current market of audiences. As he has said, and I reiterate, there are more than 450 million, 500 million gamers who exist. The idea is to try and tap an audience of fans,' said Deo. He added, 'While all of us may understand the intricacies of pulling that trigger and the release of the breath and the stillness of the mind to maintain the competitive posture. However, to make a common man understand what the shooter has to go through, I think a lot of technology can be brought in, the biofeedback can be driven, new camera angles can be brought in to ensure that there is more excitement related with the broadcast as well as a better understanding of what the athlete is going through. I think that's the level of communication that we intend to bring out from the Shooting League of India.' Apart from an eSports push – as well as a shooting league that has, according to Deo, 70 foreign shooters and close to 400 domestic shooters signed up – there is also the support that India will provide to the sport. Deo said that India would ensure a shooting programme at the 2030 Commonwealth Games and should the bid for the 2036 Olympics materialise, would support the programme wholeheartedly. 'I spoke with the Chair of the CWG. It was a mistake to remove shooting from the Games roster in 2022. The ISSF did what needed to be done at that point. But that's in the past. We are ready to cooperate again,' said Rossi. Deo agreed with the Italian and reiterated that shooting would be at the heart of any multi-sport event hosted by the country. Over the next four years (including 2025), India is set to host four different ISSF events. India will host a Jr World Cup this year, the Asian pistol and rifle Championships next year, an all-format quota World Cup in 2027 and finally the Jr World Championship in 2028. Deo spoke about plans to hold the Shooting League of India in November, but said that a clearer picture would emerge once the NRAI can lock in franchises and hold an auction. 'We are in an advanced stage of negotiation with the franchises. We still expect to hold our auction towards the end of August, maybe sometime in September, beginning of September. The schedule still remains in November. We are in advanced talks with some sponsors, with broadcasters,' said Deo.
