Authorities have identified the suspect shot and killed following in downtown Reno as 30-year-old Lucas Stone.

The Sparks Police Department said in a statement investigators believe Stone acted alone and did not pre-plan the shooting.

The investigation also indicates he was firing "at subjects that did not exist" from inside the unit at the Montage.



"There is no current evidence to support that the suspect was targeting citizens in the downtown corridor," the Sparks Police Department said in a statement, adding that the investigation is still ongoing.



Stone, a Reno resident, was shot during the incident and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to Sparks Police. The Washoe County Medical Examiner's Office made the positive identification.

According to Washoe County records, Stone and his then-wife divorced this past June. News 4-Fox 11 confirmed with his ex-wife that she was not the female hostage inside the room with Stone during the incident.

Stone had no prior criminal record.

Reports started coming in just before 6:40 p.m. about shots fired from the Montage on Sierra Street. Officers arrived and heard gunshots coming from a room overlooking Sierra.



Police negotiators arrived on scene as officers began to evacuate people from the surrounding area, per Sparks Police. Negotiators made phone contact with Stone and a woman also inside the room.

Stone continued to fire with the woman still inside, and two law enforcement officers fired at him "during the initial incident," according to Wednesday night's statement.

"As the incident continued, members with the Reno Police and Washoe County Sheriff’s SWAT team entered the suspect’s room and an officer fired their weapon at the suspect," the statement reads.



One person in a neighboring unit reported a superficial hand injury that did not require further medical attention, according to Sparks Police.

Three law enforcement officers -- one deputy with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office and two officers with the Reno Police Department -- fired at Stone. The Sparks Police Department is leading the investigation, per the regional officer-involved shooting protocol.
