No Known Motive In Medical Center Rampage


"RENO, NV — Police think a suicidal gunman was on a mission of violence when he calmly entered a third-floor urology office and opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun, killing one doctor, critically wounding another and shooting a third victim after warning patients and their children in a waiting area to `get out.`

"A witness who was among those the shooter passed in the waiting room told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the man believed to be from Northern California could have killed many more people at the Reno medical complex if that was his intent.

"Detectives have not been able to establish a motive or any relationship the man may have had with the two doctors and the relative of a patient who were shot Tuesday before the gunman killed himself.

"`While we piece this thing together, we are trying to figure out what that relationship is, if there is a relationship at all,` Reno Deputy Police Chief Mac Venzo said.

"`But the fact the shooter went through the first and second floor, made his way to the third floor of the building, would indicate to me it is not a random event,` he told reporters at police headquarters.

"Police were withholding the name of the killer because they said they still have not been able to reach his next of kin."
