Four Arrested as 16 Guns, 1,000-plus Rounds of Ammo Found in Hotel Room Near Coors Field

Four people were arrested after Denver police found 16 long guns, more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition and body armor on Friday in a downtown hotel room near Coors Field prior to MLB's All-Star Week, according to local ABC affiliate Denver7.

Sources told Denver7 that the number of weapons, ammo, vantage point from the eight-floor hotel room's balcony and potential large crowds at the All-Star events could have led to a potential "Las Vegas style shooting," referring to the Oct. 2017 attack at the Route 91 Harvest music festival.

The Denver Police Department (DPD) said that a tip from a maid at the Maven Hotel in downtown Denver proved to be critical in the arrests.
