Hello April as of right now, 5:30 p.m., SWAT are still negotiating with the suspect who is still barricaded inside the motel. The Motel and parking lot are still closed to the public.
Thank you very much! I am unfortunately staying at that hotel.
Definitely not evacuated. People are still in the rooms.
