Three men and one woman were arrested at the Maven Hotel in Denver on Friday night after a hotel employee tipped off the police to a large stash of guns and ammo in an 8th floor room. The hotel is near Coors Field, where the MLB All-Star Game is being held next week. Per thedenverchannel.com...

Sources said police removed 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from the room which featured 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."

“Once I got up to my room the hotel phone started ringing,” hotel guest Drake Voell said. “I answered, and they said for everyone to stay in their room because there was a situation. I asked what was going on and they said there was just a few people that were up to no good on the fourth and 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.
