He emphasized that while Reno is a strong community, it is not immune to such tragedies and urged the public not to accept this kind of violence as normal.
“Tragically, lives have been lost this morning in Reno in yet another act of senseless gun violence. Media staging is on the west side of GSR. My heart breaks for the victims, their families, and our entire community. Reno is strong, but we are not immune to the epidemic of gun violence gripping this nation. We cannot accept this as normal. Not here. Not anywhere,” Reese stated in the post.
