Two National Guardsmen killed and three more wounded in shooting spree at Nevada IHOP restaurant which left four people dead
UK Mail – By Laurie Whitwell
Two National Guardsmen were killed and three more wounded in a shooting spree at a Nevada IHOP restaurant this morning, which left a total of four people dead and nine hurt.
The gunman was one of the fatalities, turning the automatic rifle on himself after the killings, which took place at the pancake chain’s restaurant in Carson City at around 9am. The other victim was a civilian.
The five military personnel were wearing their Nevada National Guard uniforms for a breakfast meeting when the gunman struck.
Authorities were not saying whether the shooter targeted the Guard members but security at all bases in Northern Nevada was stepped up in response.
Nevada National Guard spokeswoman April Conway said there was no indication the killer had any connection with the Guard.
She did not know why the Guard members had met at the IHOP but noted the restaurant is about four miles from the Guard’s headquarters complex.
One of the Guard members killed was a man, the other was a woman, authorities said.
Witnesses said a man pulled up outside the IHOP in a blue minivan at just before 9am and shot a man on a motorcycle, then walked inside the restaurant and started shooting at customers with a semi-automatic rifle.
After several minutes inside the IHOP, the man walked outside and began firing into the Locals Barbecue and an H&R Block in the strip mall.
Two of the three fatalities died at the scene. The third died during surgery.
Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said the suspected gunman was found by authorities in the IHOP parking lot, having ‘already self-inflicted a wound’. Carson City Sheriff’s Office have confirmed the suspected shooter died in hospital in Reno.
Chief Deputy Jack Freer said: ‘The suspect did die of a self inflicted gunshot wound. No shots were fired by law enforcement.’
Deputy Freer told ABCNews.com that preliminary information suggested the shooter was an ex-employee of the pancake house. Police have subsequently said they can not confirm this…
