The FBI said it has no reason to believe four people arrested with guns and ammunition in a hotel a block away from Coors Field on MLB All-Star Game weekend posed a threat to the game, but Denver police refused to rule out the possibility of a mass shooting plot during a Sunday news conference. Denver police on Friday seized weapons and a significant amount of narcotics from two rooms at The Maven Hotel at 1850 Wazee St., Denver police Chief Paul Pazen said Sunday. A source who spoke to The Post on condition of anonymity said it was more than a dozen guns and numerous rounds of ammunition. The hotel is a block from Coors Field, where thousands of fans attended the MLB Futures Game and Celebrity Softball Game on Sunday, and thousands are expected at the Home Run Derby on Monday and the All-Star Game on Tuesday. There was no reason to believe the suspects posed a threat to the All-Star Game, Courtney Bernal, acting public affairs specialist with the Denver FBI office, said in a statement Sunday. “We have no reason to believe this incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game,” she said. “We are not aware of any threat to the All-Star Game events, venues, players or the community at this time.” Mayor Michael Hancock, Public Safety Director Murphy Robinson and Pazen emphasized in a Sunday afternoon news conference that there are no ongoing threats at Coors Field.
