Two bullets struck the top portion of the windshield, one in the right front passenger side tire, causing it to deflate.

    Wtf I go here diligently and your telling me none of those rednecks shot his ass before the police. Damn near everyone in reno has a gun 🤦‍♂️🤣

    But THE most important thing, with this whole "life in America" scenario, was Mr Hawver's 2nd amendment "rights" were not violated. The victims were simply collateral damage and just got in the way of Mr Hawver's 2nd amendment bullets.

    For those of you wondering – there is a CIVILIAN HERO (employee: valet driver) that needs to be recognized as part of this story. His name is Kade Macedo. Local kid who was pulling a car up to the front of the hotel when bullets were flying, helped one of the victims get cover and quite literally saved his life. Kade is a young father and showed unfathomable courage in one of the most intense moments of his life. I honestly can't even imagine how grateful the victims family is for his act of kindness and strength.
