According to midhudsonnews.com, the incident occurred early this morning. Multiple emergency services responded just before 8am to a report of gunshots being fired by a person with a long gun. An ambulance transferred a shooting victim with alleged multiple gunshot wounds to a local hospital, with paramedics reportedly performing CPR in the ambulance.
SWAT teams from two agencies attended the scene and it is believed they have since taken one suspect into custody after conducting a room-by-room search of the Poughkeepsie facility in New York state. The detainee was located and arrested in room 143 at approximately 9am, said the publication.
Officers searching for the suspect were said to have faced a difficult situation with the hotel being fully booked due to the local Marist College’s ‘Family Weekend’.
A video of the incident was posted on YouTube courtesy of Mid-Hudson News:
