1. Southwest launches year-round nonstop flights between Reno and Nashville (thisisreno.com) — Reno-Tahoe International Airport now offers year-round nonstop Southwest flights to Nashville, giving local travelers four weekly options and easier connections across the Midwest and East Coast. Airport officials say the new route is part of a broader capacity boost, adding more than 84,000 round-trip seats from October through December compared with last year.
2. Washoe County fire feasibility study recommends regional authority (kolotv.com) — Reno-area residents could see big changes in fire and EMS services as a new feasibility study weighs four options, from keeping Reno, Sparks and Truckee Meadows separate to forming a single regional fire authority. The draft report, now open for public comment, highlights funding deficits, projected population growth, and response-time issues that will shape how future emergencies are handled.
3. Washoe DA deems RPD's 2024 shooting of Kristopher Gari was lawful (thenewstribune.com) — Washoe County's district attorney has ruled that Reno Police Sergeant Patrick McCauley's 2024 fatal shooting of Kristopher Gari was a lawful use of deadly force after a three-day pursuit and struggle inside a moving vehicle. The detailed report, based on a Sparks Police investigation, outlines multiple prior attempts to arrest Gari in Reno and closes the case unless new evidence emerges.
4. Driver arrested after DUI hit-and-run on East Golden Valley Road, deputies say (kolotv.com) — A driver was arrested after allegedly fleeing a DUI crash Sunday afternoon on East Golden Valley Road near Opal Station Drive in Reno, with deputies tracking him down thanks to a witness who followed his vehicle.
