DENVER – Police feared a “Las Vegas style shooting” during the All-Star Game in Denver after receiving a tip from a maid working at a hotel not far from Coors Field, who discovered more than a dozen weapons and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition inside one of the rooms Friday night. Multiple informed law enforcement sources connected with the investigation told Denver7’s Liz Gelardi and Denver7 chief investigative reporter Tony Kovaleski that they found the weapons inside a room on the eighth floor of the Maven Hotel as All-Star Game celebrations got underway.

Sources said police removed 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from the room with a balcony overlooking the downtown area. The sources said they feared the number of weapons, ammo, vantage point and large crowds could have resulted in a Las Vegas style shooting.

Based on the information provided by the hotel employee, police executed a search warrant and found the guns, ammo, body armor and a man inside the room on the eighth floor. One of the suspects arrested Friday night had posted a message on Facebook referencing a recent divorce and saying he was going to “go out in a big way,” according to the multiple law enforcement sources.

4. Yes. I would love to see them rewarded for their astute actions.

5. I'm sure these guys were Antifa or BLM

6. Posing as MAGA

7. Jesus. Maid may have saved a lot of lives

Lord!

8. From "go out in a big way," to "going out in the big house". Give them twenty years ...

In reality? They'll be out on the streets and packing in a couple of years.

9. 45's advance team?

10. That maid deserves a medal. A lot of lives were likely saved.

His soon-to-be-ex-wife must be loving this. Divorce him and watch him get a decade in prison.

11. first off, arnt these things expensive? and where does he get rounds in bulk?

[Dial H For Hero]

12. 16 guns would be around $10K (guesstimate). As for rounds in bulk, one simply orders them online.

A thousand rounds really isn’t that much, I’ve ordered more than that myself when a particularly good deal cropped up.

13. The New Math

Marital Failure + Anger + Human-killing guns = Massacre

The maid added it up and came up with the correct answer—call the cops. Well done.

14. Score one for the sanity side

[getagrip_already]

15. odd, all were arrested for possession with intent to distribute......

Could this just be drug dealers and associated gear? They all had records. Doesn't seem to fit the mass killing profile.

The only piece missing is cash. Maybe the cops just misplaced that; seems to happen.

16. Similar to the story last weekend about a guy in a hotel in Chicago.

Hotel overlooked Navy Pier. Housekeeper reported it.

17. Why did they need a search warrant?

Since the suspects didn't own the hotel room, couldn't the hotel simply give its permission for the search?

[Justice matters.]

18. Maybe because the hotel didn't want to risk getting sued later on?

With a search warrant issued by a judge, they've got their assets covered if that *client* happened to be legit?

[Aristus]

19. Okay.

Thanks.

20. These people are cowards

Intending to pick off humans from a hotel window. That woman who accepted the proposal from the guy in Chicago will probably be reported missing someday.
