The man remains holed up Friday in the back of the Reno store where three workers were wounded early Friday.

Police identified the man as 45-year-old John Dennis Gillane.

Reno Deputy Police Chief Mike Whan says it is his understanding Gillane was about to be terminated. He says police have not established a motive for the shooting but suspect it was related to the termination.

Whan also says police negotiators have established contact with Gillane by telephone and are trying to persuade him to surrender.
