UPDATE: Judge Weller is awake and talking to the medical staff, and is listed in serious condition.

Family Court judge Chuck Weller was shot Monday at the Washoe County courthouse complex in Reno, Monday morning. Weller was shot once in the chest, according to Reno Police.

A second person, Annie Allison, was in the Judges office at the time, and received minor shrapnel wounds to her arm and thigh.

A SWAT team is on the scene. Police have closed off several blocks around the courthouse just south of the Truckee River on the south end of Reno's downtown casino district.

The judge was shot in his chambers in Family Court section of the complex and the building was evacuated, Police Spokesperson Steve Frady told Newchannel 8.

Police do not know if the shots were fired inside the courthouse or if they came from outside. Police scanner traffic indicates officers also were searching parking garages in the area.

Police are still looking for a suspect.

One shot. Through the window. Could be almost any kind of firearms then.

Oh well... So much for my finely crafted WAG (wild arsed guess). ;-)

Thanks for the shot in the chest once Update, I was out and about for a bit.

Hope he pulls thru.
