Twenty Five Wild Horses Shot Dead Near Reno Nevada
Twenty five wild horses were shot to death at close range five miles east of the Reno Sparks area in Devil's Flatt valley. The killings, described as the worst slaughter in a decade, left foals and pregnant mares among the victims and a surviving filly euthanized. Investigators collected bullets for forensics and a $20,000 reward was offered for arrest. Wildlife groups expressed outrage while officials ruled out rancher‑mounted motives in the Nevada shooting.
