Two people are dead after a gunman opened fire at a Carson City, Nev., Ihop restaurant, shooting eight people before killing himself.
"There's seven in surgery either at Renown [Regional] Medical Center in Reno and in Carson City," said Chief Deputy Jack Freer.
Ralph Swagler, an owner of Locals Barbecue near the IHOP, told the Reno Gazette-Journal that he saw a man wearing a red shirt pull up in a blue minivan. Swagler told the paper that the man first shot and killed a man on a motorcycle before taking aim at seven others.
Kurt Althof a public relations manager for Care Flight told the Reno Gazette-Journal that helicopters from three of their bases were called to the scene at around 9 a.m. this morning. Althof told the newspaper that the helicopters have transported at least three victims to Renown Regional Medical center, two women and one man. At least two of them are in critical condition, Althof told the paper.
One person besides the gunman was dead at the scene, Freer said.
"The suspect did die of a self inflicted gunshot wound. No shots were fired by law enforcement," Freer said.
Preliminary information is that the shooter is an ex-employee of the pancake house, Freer told ABCNews.com.
The male shooter was seen running into the restaurant at 8:58 a.m. PDT.
