Carson City authorities continue to investigate an early Tuesday morning shooting in which Justice Court Judge John Tatro’s home was hit with gunfire.
A 911 call was made at 4:24 Tuesday morning where judge Tatro told dispatch that someone had fired shots into his home. When deputies arrived they were unable to locate any suspects but did find two bullet holes in the front door of the residence.
The bullets passed through the front door traveling out the rear window hitting the back fence. No one in the residence was injured. At this time investigators have not identified any suspects or motive for the shooting.
Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said there is no “solid suspect” at this time and is looking to the public for help.
“Somebody knows something about this that will lead to the shooter,” Furlong said.
Extra security has been placed at the Carson City Courthouse and at the residence of all the Carson City judges. The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is asking the community for help in the matter. Anyone with information is urged to call the Carson City Sheriff’s Office at 775-887-2008.
Furlong suggested that if anyone has information and doesn’t wish to be identified they can go through Secret Witness at (775) 322-4900.
