As of Sunday afternoon, the man was still in critical condition, the Reno Police Department said. Anyone who attended the gathering or who has information on the case should call Detective Ben Rhodes at (775) 657-4506. (KOLO)
- The hollow PVC pipes that are used to mark mining claims across the West are death traps for nesting birds that get stuck inside them, say Nevada conservationists and state wildlife officials. Cavity nesters — birds that rely on confined spaces for secure breeding grounds — fly into the tubes but cannot escape, and they eventually die from dehydration or starvation. Nevada's Legislature outlawed the tubes a decade ago and authorized the removal of markers people find on public land, but there may still be hundreds of thousands of markers throughout the state.

- Despite the City of Reno's recent purchase of the Lear Theater, the building still appeared on Preserve Nevada's top 11 endangered historic buildings for the second year in a row. (Subscription: ThisisReno)
