Nevada Woman Savannah Henderson, also known as ‘Tiara Tae,’ 28, is in the Lyon County, Nevada jail, after a shooting and standoff with law enforcement at her job at the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a famous legal brothel located on Highway 50 in Mound House, Nevada, close to the capital Carson City.
According to the incident report, the shooting was reported around 9:37 p.m. when the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office dispatch center received a call from the ranch about gunshots fired due to a dispute between two workers. When officers arrived at the scene, it was determined that one of the employees had fired a gun several times and then retreated into a room, resulting in an hours-long standoff with law enforcement.

Arriving deputies reported hearing several more gunshots and began evacuating the brothel while Henderson retreated into a room and barricaded herself in, Lyon County Sheriff Brad Pope said.
According to the sheriff’s office, how many people were inside the brothel when the shooting started is unknown.
Pope said Lyon County sheriff’s crisis negotiators were joined at the scene by Nevada State Police, sheriff’s deputies and police from Carson City and the Washoe Tribal Police Department, and firefighters and paramedics from regional agencies.
