What's CITY Talking About?
🎰 Shooting at Red Rock Casino
One person was shot and two others stabbed at Red Rock Resort early Saturday morning. According to a witness, the stabbing victims were casino security and their attacker was shot by a third security member. The casino was busy after a Friday night country music concert and crowds ducked under the tables when gunfire was heard. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

🦒 Thinking of Ozzie
We’re sad to learn that Ozzie, the first and only giraffe in Nevada, passed away after a fall at the Lion Habitat Ranch. He was a sweetheart — and a great artist 💔 Our thoughts are with those who loved and cared for him. [KNPR]
