Carson City IHOP, site of 2011's mass shooting, has closed and is set to be demolished
The Carson City IHOP on South Carson Street has officially shut its doors and the building is set to be demolished. At this time, IHOP corporate said they have no plans to reopen another IHOP chain in Carson City, but they do have three locations in Reno and one in South Lake Tahoe.
Discussions are being held currently to build a bank in the place of the IHOP at 3883 S Carson Street after it is demolished.
On September 6, 2011, the IHOP was the site of a mass shooting that resulted in the deaths of five people, including the gunman. Three of those who died were National Guard members. Seven others were wounded.
The restaurant was closed for a few months during construction following the shooting, and community members as well as lawmakers attended its reopening.
Each year, the IHOP is the starting point for a memorial walk/run held in honor of the victims.
