A hotel employee alerted police to a large stash of guns and ammunition hidden in an 8th floor room at the Maven Hotel in Denver on Friday night. Near the hotel is Coors Field, where this week’s baseball all-star game will be held.

Channel 7 in Denver reported that the tip from the hotel employee, combined with other factors, caused the police fear that there could be a mass shooting event during the festivities next week. Via 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.”
