Monday, June 12, 2006
RENO, Nev. — A judge was shot on Monday at a courthouse in Reno, a police spokesman said.
"Right now I can't give you the condition" of the judge, Steve Frady of the Reno Police Department said. "It's still an unsafe situation."
“We do believe a sniper shot a judge inside the courthouse," Frady added. "We're trying to locate where the shooting came from."

Update - Judge Chuck Weller was shot in the chest
RENO, Nev. - A family court judge was shot Monday at the Washoe County courthouse, and police were searching the building and nearby parking garages for a sniper.
Judge Chuck Weller was shot in the chest while he stood near a window on the third floor of the Mills B. Lane Justice Center about 11:15 a.m., police said. He was rushed by ambulance to Washoe Medical Center, Reno police spokesman Steve Frady told The Associated Press.
Police do not know if the shots were fired inside the courthouse or if they came from outside, Frady said.
A SWAT team was on the scene, and officers were conducting a floor-by-floor search of the courthouse as well as neighboring parking garages.
Police closed off several blocks around the courthouse, on the edge of Reno's downtown casino district.
