Yahoo CEO Bartz fired over the phone, rocky run ends
It wasn't immediately clear whether the gunman had any connection with the military or the Guard, said Nevada National Guard Sgt. Mike Getten. He said Guard members were meeting at the restaurant.Furlong noted the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident."We came into this with everything we had. All agencies were committed to it," Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said."There were concerns at the onset, so we took certain steps to ensure we had the capability to embrace an even larger circumstance. At this point in time it appears to be isolated to this parking lot."Witnesses said a man pulled up in a blue minivan around 9 am at the International House of Pancakes restaurant in a strip mall on Carson City's main street. He shot a man on a motorcycle, then walked inside the restaurant and started shooting, said Ralph Swagler, owner of Locals Barbecue in the same strip mall as the IHOP.One of the two Guard members killed was a man; the other was a woman, authorities said.Swagler told the Reno Gazette-Journal that after several minutes, the man walked outside and began firing into the Locals Barbecue and an H&R Block accountant in the strip mall.Fran Hunter, who works at a Sierra Le Bone, a pet shop just north of the IHOP, told the newspaper that the suspect fired at least two shots toward Casino Fandango across the street."I don't know what's happening to my city," Hunter said. "This happens in L.A. or Las Vegas but not here." Swagler compared the shooting to events in a "third-world country." [More]Tags:roy bostockceo carol bartzyahoo inc chairman
