The motive behind Tuesday’s deadly shooting at a Carson City IHOP remains unclear, Nevada authorities say. Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said the gunman, who has been identified as 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion, may have been targeting military members. Sencion killed four people, including three Nevada National Guard members and one civilian. Two other National Guard members and five civilians were wounded.
"To say that he was targeting before he came into the restaurant those military persons, we have not been able to establish. Clearly, the fact that five of the 11 were military draws a concern by us,” Furlong said.
Sencion entered the IHOP armed with a variant of an AK-47 rifle shortly before 9 a.m. and opened fire. He then returned to the parking lot where he shot at nearby businesses before turning the gun on himself. Sencion died in the parking lot.
