Surgeons at a Reno hospital have treated victims in a series of deadly tragedies in recent years, including a horrific crash at the Reno Air Races, a fiery Amtrak accident, a shooting rampage at a pancake restaurant and a murder-suicide at a middle school just two months ago.
This week, they found themselves fighting to try to save the lives of two of their own after a suicidal California man opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun in the examination room area of a urology clinic. One doctor was killed, another critically wounded and a third person seriously injured by the shotgun blasts.
Victims were rushed to an emergency room in the Renown Regional Medical Center campus after the shooting, carried out by a gunman who witnesses said warned patients and their children in a waiting area to ‘get out.’
‘Unfortunately our community has experienced yet another tragedy,’ Renown Regional Medical Center CEO Kris Gaw said on Wednesday.
