Documents show cops feared mass shooting in the works near MLB All-Star Game

Denver law enforcement officers were concerned they had encountered a mass shooting plot in the works when they learned one of four suspects arrested on gun and drug charges at a hotel near the venue of this week's Major League Baseball All-Star Game had requested a room with a balcony, according to police reports. Police were called to the Maven Hotel in downtown Denver on Friday after a hotel housekeeper entered the room of one of the suspects to clean it and noticed multiple firearms, according to probable cause statements filed in the incident and obtained by ABC News. On Sunday, the FBI released a statement saying, "We have no reason to believe this incident was connected to terrorism or a threat directed at the All-Star Game." A preliminary assessment indicated the stash of guns seized at the hotel appears to be connected to a possible illegal transaction involving drugs and guns, according to an internal law enforcement memo obtained by ABC News.
