[Update] A student told the Reno Gazette-Journal newspaper that the shooter was a student, wearing a Sparks Middle School uniform, and shot a teacher after a teacher told him to put the gun down.
“The teacher fell and everybody ran away,” said the student who spoke to the newspaper, Kyle Nucum. “We ran across the field to get somewhere safe, and while we were running we heard about four or five more gunshots.”
[Update] Other reports indicate the shooter was a teacher and the victims were students.... so keep in mind please that initial reports are conflicting and this will be updated accordingly when the chaos has died down and the official "story" comes out.
[Update] The first video news report below indicates that two students are in critical condition and one teacher dead, which would seem to imply that the second death is the shooter, but that is not confirmed at this time.
[UPDATE] It appears that the two dead are the student attacker and one staff member, the two injured are two students who are in the hospital at this time.
