No injuries were reported, no shots fired, one person was in custody, and there was no information available about charges, said Insp. Mike Vansickle, adding he couldn’t disclose whether there were more suspects involved.

“The investigation is still very much active,” he said, adding later, “This one is pretty complex.”

The rest of the motel was operating as usual, Vansickle said.
