A gunman opened fire early on Monday outside the largest casino in Reno, Nevada, killing two people and wounding three others before being taken into custody, officials said.
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.
Hotel guests heard several shots coming from the resort’s valet area around 7.30am.
