The Nevada National Guard and Carson City community members took part in a memorial run on Sunday to commemorate the victims of the September 6, 2011 shooting at the International House of Pancakes (IHOP). This is the ninth year a memorial walk/run has been held in memory of Nevada Guardsmen Lt. Col. Heath Kelly, 35, Master Sgt. Christian Riege, 38, Sgt. 1st Class Miranda McElhiney, 31, and civilian Florence Donovan-Gunderson, 67, of South Lake Tahoe, all who were killed in the shooting rampage at the restaurant. A mentally ill gunman took his own life after killing the four, shooting two other soldiers and seven patrons.
McElhiney was born in South Lake Tahoe and lived the community until the age of 12. Her father is long-time local, and National Guardsman, Kenny Curtzwiler.
Unveiled at the ceremony Sunday was a memorial at the site of the old IHOP which was demolished and is now home to a new Chase Bank.
