According to official statements from the Reno Police Department, officers responded to a report of an active shooter at GSR within minutes of the first 911 call. Law enforcement arrived at the scene within 4 to 5 minutes and swiftly located the suspect. An officer-involved shooting took place, after which the suspect—an adult male—was transported to a local hospital. As of the latest update, his condition remains unknown.
The shooting unfolded outside the casino, primarily near the valet and northwest parking lot area. The suspect did not enter the casino, and no shots were fired inside the facility.
Victims and Injuries: Still Unclear
Is the Reno casino shooting and NYC Midtown shooting correlated? Doesn’t seem random both were in Nevada to start and why is the Reno shooting not in the MSM?

Police confirmed that several individuals suffered gunshot wounds, while others sustained injuries related to the chaotic event. Emergency medical personnel from REMA and the fire department provided on-site first aid, and multiple victims were transported to nearby hospitals.
Authorities are still working to confirm the exact number of victims, as some individuals self-transported to hospitals. Injuries range in severity, and as of now, no fatalities have been reported. Law enforcement emphasized the importance of ensuring all victims are accounted for before releasing final numbers.
Casino Access and Public Safety Measures
In response to the Reno shooting, a portion of the northwest parking area and the valet entrance of the GSR was cordoned off for an extended investigation. However, other entrances to the resort remain open, and guests and employees are still able to access the casino via alternative routes, particularly from the Mill Street side.
Reno Police reassured the public that there is no ongoing threat, and the scene is secure.
Who Is Handling the Investigation?
In accordance with regional protocols for officer-involved shootings, the investigation has been turned over to the Sparks Police Department, in partnership with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office and other local agencies. Officials are working diligently to uncover the motive behind the shooting, although no cause has yet been established.
“We have no indication at this time that this was gang-related,” stated a Reno Police spokesperson. “We don’t yet have an ID on the suspect, and no motive has been established. This remains an active investigation.”
Police and First Responder Actions Praised
Authorities emphasized the quick and coordinated response by law enforcement agencies and first responders. Within minutes, the suspect was contained, injured parties were receiving medical care, and the area was secured.
The Nevada Highway Patrol, Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, and local fire and medical teams were all credited for their effective and prompt action in managing a potentially catastrophic situation.
