in the video, but the shooting itself was not visible. Hours after the shooting, some local television stations falsely reported multiple gunmen were still at large, leading to the evacuations of several commercial areas surrounding the courthouse. Several media outlets reported conflicting, erroneous information in the hours immediately following the shooting. The Associated Press first reported at least two federal marshals were shot, and the Las Vegas Sun reported "two or three federal marshals" were wounded. The Las Vegas Review-Journal initially reported two FBI agents were shot. Aftermath and impact In the immediate aftermath, the Christian Science Monitor opined that this "shooting highlights rising threats ... to federal judges and prosecutors...." The United States House of Representatives honored "the heroic actions" of the officers who responded to the shooting incident, naming specifically Officer Cooper and Deputy Marshall Gardner, in H.Res. 1242, sponsored by Congressman Hank Johnson. The UGSOA (United Government Security Officers Association) International Union honors Officer Cooper on their in memoriam web page of "Fallen Officers". According to the Center for American Progress, this shooting was the primary incident in a series of shootings in Nevada from 2010 to 2013 that highlighted the need for "universal background checks". On the other hand, during training of county sheriffs in Texas, the incident was noted as a clear example where "entryway screening work[ed]"; but the Texas Association of Counties also noted that further "outcome measures" are needed to protect the nation's courts. Over three years after the incident, United States Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the memory of the shooting in support of gun control.
