Reno police say a gunman who was killed by a SWAT team after he opened fire on a downtown street from the eighth-floor of a condominium may have been suffering from mental issues.
Sparks police officer Ken Gallop said Wednesday his department is investigating Tuesday night's shooting. No one else was seriously hurt.
Reno Deputy Police Chief Tom Robinson says radio chatter indicated the suspect who had taken a woman hostage may have been seeing things.
Robinson says the man appears to have been in his mid- to late-20s. It's not clear if he or the hostage lived in the Montage apartment building a block off the main casino drag.
Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 people from the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel-casino, had owned a unit at the Montage. Records show he sold the property in December 2016.
Robinson says police don't know if the shooting may have been a copycat.
