LOS ANGELES, July 29 (Xinhua) — Three people were killed and three others were injured in a shooting outside a casino in the U.S. city of Reno, Nevada, on Monday morning, local authorities said.

The Reno Police Department and other agencies responded to a report of shots fired at 7:25 a.m. local time, police said in a news release. Officers arrived on scene within two and a half minutes.

An unidentified man with a gun walked from the north through the parking lot into the casino parking area, said Chris Crawford, police chief in Sparks, east of Reno.

The suspect's gun initially misfired, but then the man was able to start shooting at a group of bystanders. Five people in the parking lot were injured. One died at the scene, and another died later in hospital. Two of the five victims are in critical condition, and one has already been released, Crawforth said.

The suspect was shot by police and taken to hospital in critical condition, officials said. –0–
