The shooting at the Freight House District, outside Aces Ballpark, certainly raises many questions.
For starters, some are asking how safe is downtown Reno late at night, and should bars do more to keep their patrons safe? And what about those nightspots which have not always had a preputation -- are they any safer?
While the shooting highlights the potential dangers of late night drinking, there a few nightspots which have worked to improve their image, and downtown safety.
Go back to early May of last year. Police tape lined the perimeter of West Second Street Bar. Bullet casings lay on the ground.
And detectives investigated. A late night fight outside West Second Street led to three men firing handguns; four people were sent to the hospital. It wasn't the first violent incident here.
The city council ultimately revoked the bar's liquor license temporarily. And city officials urged that the bar make some changes. And the bar's manager says those changes have taken place.
"We have done things differently, we've been patting people down at the door really well, we're making sure our sidewalks are clear," said manager Russell Cowan.
"You've been more diligent when it comes to security?" asked reporter Andrew Del Greco.
"Yes, definitely, we have been," said Cowan.
Councilman Dan Gustin, whose ward includes West Second Street Bar, agrees the bar has done better.
"I do, I think they're working on it, it's a work in progress, they're slowly putting it together, they're aware of it now because all the people telling them what they need to do, they've been more responsive," said Gustin.

Badminton's controversial 'skirt rule' has not been scrapped but is merely in limbo while officials wait for more consultation after initial feedback deemed it sexist, the governing body told Reuters Thursday.
A new Badminton World Federation (BWF) code had required all female players to wear skirts or dresses in major tournaments in order to "to ensure attractive presentation of badminton," but the rule has not been implemented after an outcry.
This week's Singapore Open had been slated as the first tournament to implement the rule, but marketing manager for the BWF's Super Series S.Selvam said a decision was in limbo.
"The rule has been deferred until we get another proposal from the women's commission," Selvam said at the city state's Indoor Stadium.
"There was a lot of feedback from players. But a lot of the feedback actually came from the public saying that it was too sexist," he continued.
The legislation -- that stipulates female players must wear a skirt during competition even if they also wear shorts -- is to be reassessed in December.
"What was decided was to get the women's commission and the ethnic scholarship to gather feedback from manufacturers, players and other interested parties, and to come up with another proposal for the best dress code for female and male players," Selvam added.

Members of the U.S. Congress put aside their partisan differences tonight in favor of “corny dogs,” funnel cake, and “chicken in a basket” at the annual congressional picnic at the White House.
“We don’t want to make a long speech, but I do hope that the spirit of community that is so evident on a day like today, that this carries over each and every day. We've got Democrats here and the Republicans here, and we all have differences on issues at every given moment, but the one thing that we have to remind ourselves every day is we’re all Americans and we’re all part of the American family,” President Obama said in his opening remarks standing alongside the first lady, dressed in a blue and white stripped sun dress.
The president said the event was a chance to thank the families of the members of Congress.
“This is always one of the best events of the year for us, mainly because with all the work that we do with members of Congress and their staffs, all too often we don’t get a chance to say thank you to the families,” he said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was spotted chatting with House Majority Leader Eric Canter, R-Va., Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., was seen dancing with his wife, and Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, was caught lighting up a cigarette (a rare public sight).
Tables covered in yellow and blue checkered tablecloths dotted the south lawn and a U.S. Navy band played blue grass and patriot country music to complete the “State Fair” theme. Activities included a pie throwing contest and a three-legged race.
“You guys have fun. And I want you guys to eat until you can’t eat any more. All right? And then tomorrow you can ‘Let’s Move,’” the president said.

Dress hire business has been steadily gaining popularity over the years because of its novelty and the fact that it addresses a very common problem faced by individuals when it comes to their fashion consciousness.
People have always had great desire to present themselves in the best possible manner and that is what makes the latest trends in fashion so popular. However, following these latest trends can be a very costly affair and not everyone can really afford to buy a different dress for each and every occasion in one’s life. Additionally when we consider that a dress from most of the high end fashion labels may cost more than all the contents of a regular wardrobe, it seems virtually impossible to follow fashion trends religiously, but many people still do! So, what is their secret? Well, the secret is dress hire!
Dress hire comes to the rescue of those who always want to be seen in the most fashionable dresses but do not want to spend a hefty amount on a dress that they are going to wear only once, e.g. A prom dress or a bridal gown. One can now hire a dress of his or her choice depending upon the occasion and pay just a fraction of the original price of the dress. One can hire the most enchanting dresses from the hi-end designers and wear them with pride and impress their friends and family.
Hiring a dress can prove to be an extremely affordable and commonsensical solution to your fashion woes. Most dress hire businesses have a comprehensive collection of dresses suited to different occasions and available in different colors and sizes. You can always choose to hire a dress that best suits your taste and budget.
A dress hire business also has a wide variety of movie costumes, wedding gowns and prom dresses along with suitable accessories like matching jewelry, handbags and footwear.
