A gunman has been killed by a SWAT team after opening fire from an eighth-floor apartment in Reno in a chilling echo of the Las Vegas attack.

Police rushed to the luxury downtown apartment block after receiving reports of a shooter in an 'elevated position' on Tuesday night.

They surrounded the building and 'contained' the gunman while they negotiated with him.

Officers then reported that the man was 'detained' and the threat was gone, before later confirming officers had shot him dead. 

The luxury high-rise is surrounded by some of downtown Reno's most popular casinos, and the gunfire brought eerie echoes of the Las Vegas shooting two months earlier that killed dozens. 

But there were no reported injuries in Tuesday's attack as the streets were mostly empty on a cold weeknight.

Police did not name the shooter but described him as a young adult. 

It wasn't immediately clear whether he was killed by police gunfire or his own.

Stephen Paddock, the man who opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino onto an outdoor concert below killing 58 people, had owned a unit at the Montage. Records show he sold the property in December 2016.

'When you heard it's coming from above it reminds you of the guy shooting from Mandalay Bay,' said Mike Pavicich, who was in town on business from Las Vegas and was standing atop a parking garage at the neighboring Eldorado Resort Casino when the shots rang out.

'It's scary, you know?' Pavicich told the Review-Journal. 'This is the same kind of town.'

The building was once a casino itself before it was converted into luxury condos, according to its website.

Trooper Chris Kelley of the Nevada Highway Patrol told the Reno Gazette-Journal that shots were heard from the building for at least 20 minutes, and TV news reporters said they heard several shots after arriving, though the shots were sporadic, not constant.

Sixty-four-year-old Paddock modified an AR-15 to loose a stream of constant bullets like an automatic weapon in the attack at Las Vegas, which is 450 miles (724 kilometers) south.

Sparks Police Department wrote on Twitter: 'Officer involved shooting in downtown Reno earlier this evening stemming from an active shooter incident. 

'Suspect deceased & no threat to the public. Regional OIS Protocol is enacted. Sparks Police leading the investigation. Investigators on scene. Sparks PIO to release info soon.'
