In a post on social media, city council member Devon Reese said, “My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and our entire community. Reno is strong but we are not immune to the epidemic of gun violence gripping this nation,” according to AP.
This is not the first violent incident at the resort. In January 2024, two men were charged with fatally shooting another man who was staying at the hotel.
