Reno police investigated a midnight ambush that critically wounded Lincoln Fitzgerald, 57, co owner of a major Reno casino, at his home. Authorities said the attack resembled gangland violence and could be revenge, with no definite suspect named. Fitzgerald, hit near the garage at 11 43 p m, remained alive after five hours of surgery but faced slim chances of recovery. His wife was at his side as doctors reported a severed spinal cord and injuries to his lung and liver. Police planned extra security at the hospital as the investigation continued. He and partner Danny Sullivan built the Nevada Club in Reno after fleeing Michigan. The couple have been married more than 15 years.
