The F.B.I. said it did not believe the episode was connected to terrorism, but the police were still investigating why four people who were arrested were in a downtown Denver hotel.
The police in Denver seized 16 long guns, body armor and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition on Friday at a hotel about two blocks from the stadium where the Major League Baseball All-Star Game is to be played this week, according to officials and local reports. Three men and one woman were arrested at the Maven Hotel, Denver police said in a statement. The hotel, on Wazee Street, is near Coors Field, where some of baseball’s biggest stars are set to face off on Tuesday in the All-Star Game. The police, who had search warrants and were acting on a tip from a hotel employee, seized weapons and drugs from two rooms at the hotel, the police said at a news conference on Sunday. One of the rooms was on the eighth floor with a balcony overlooking the downtown area, The Denver Post reported. The police on Sunday would not specify what was seized, but The Post reported more than a dozen long guns were among the weapons recovered. The police did not explicitly say if those arrested had stockpiled the weapons in preparation for an attack similar to the 2017 Las Vegas shooting in which a man fired from his upper-story hotel room at crowds attending a music festival, killing 58 and injuring hundreds.
