Imagine you re sleeping in a hotel bed and you re woken up by a loud noise. You get up in a groggy and disoriented state and assume it s coming from the guests on the floor above, so you go back to sleep. You wake in the morning to discover that your hotel room is riddled with bullet holes and you re probably lucky to be alive.
That was reality for one man who checked into a Hilton hotel in Phoenix, Ariz. on Thursday. Reddit user walterwhitmanwhite posted several photos cheap cruises around the world uk of the aftermath on Reddit Friday morning in a post titled, I nearly got shot last night and I didn t even know it. The photos, which show shattered glass, peppered drywall and even a spent bullet by his bedside, are incredible:
Sgt. Tommy Thompson with the Phoenix Police Department told TheBlaze in an email that someone did indeed fire several shots through the west windows of the Hilton Phoenix Suites at around 2:30 a.m. Friday morning. No one was injured and it is unknown who or why the shots were fired. We don t know what type of gun was used either, Thompson wrote.
The Redditor said his room was on the third floor and two of the bullets entered cheap cruises around the world uk near floor level, ricocheted off the ceiling and ended up in the walls. Even more terrifying, cheap cruises around the world uk he said police found a third bullet right next to his bed. He recalled more of the incident:
This is in an all-suite corporate hotel in a business plaza with 24hr security cheap cruises around the world uk and cameras. I woke up of course but was disoriented and thought the people above were doing something dumb at 2am so I went back to sleep. cheap cruises around the world uk It wasn t until I found the fallen plaster in the morning that I realized what happened. The guests in the two other rooms that got shot did the same thing. All the bullets must have passed within cheap cruises around the world uk a couple of feet of me. One might even have hit the side of the bed…The cop found the bullet in the photo next to the bed.
After another cheap cruises around the world uk Reddit user encouraged cheap cruises around the world uk him to demand the hotel compensates him for the incident, walterwhitmanwhite said he didn t hold the hotel responsible for what happened and, all things considered, he was fine.
Part of me wants free stuff cos, you know, FREE STUFF! But the hotel was not negligent. It s not like the gunman was inside the hotel property or anything, and they responded appropriately, he wrote. They offered me enough loyalty points to cover the night s stay. I guess that is fair.
Sgt. Thompson told TheBlaze he didn t expect any additional details to surface anytime soon. When asked if there was any evidence to suggest involvement of Mexican drug cartels, which are active cheap cruises around the world uk in Phoenix and throughout Arizona, Thompson replied absolutely not.
It is not a rush to judgment out west to assume illegals are the cause of this shooting all you have to do is watch the liberal media news even they can t hide the fact that 90%+/- crime is committed by illegals and/or mexican drug cartel members. Get in the real world time to stop denying that all people crossing the border are innocent, cheap cruises around the world uk decent people looking for a better life. That is not so true.
Don t get me wrong, I am strongly against cheap cruises around the world uk illegal immigration and believe that they need to be deported and follow the proper procedure for becoming a citizen, but please do not sound so ignorant. cheap cruises around the world uk You hurt all of conservatism when you say these things.
Spoken like someone who knows absolutely nothing. 90% of the crime??? As someone with firsthand knowledge of how much crime in the Phoenix area is committed by illegals and cartel members I would say you are retarded. But way to make up a statistic.
Today, the area is now a virtual hotbed of illegal activity. All of it springing from their love of drugs. People use drugs, their morals disappear, and you end up with a population that either benefits from drugs, or they have gone into crime thanks to losing their morality.
About now, someone is trying to claim that legalization will solve the problem. Oregon was legal from 73 to 97. No end of problems and exponentially cheap cruises around the world uk more crime. Drug crime became everywhere. Canada is experiencing the same thing. So is California, Washington, and Colorado. There is no way to prevent evil in a person using drugs to get high. It always happens with prolonged use with the motive of getting high/escaping. Their morals go, you hear their family lamenting I can t trust him/her anymore and eventually you read about them in the newspaper.
What the hell!!!! 1000 murders in Portland in 1995???? More like 24 ..but nice try. You people are maddening. Usually its the left making up numbers and statistics. So my guess is you losers are really ******** trying to make conservatives look bad. Its really the only explanation.
Phoenix is a big place, cheap cruises around the world uk but suffice to say staying downtown is never a good idea. The PHX pd is decent, but everyone is a suspect and city politics prevent them from taking on the cartels in any serious way. Think of Phx as 4 zones. Central, West, East and rural Pinal county. The Eastern part is by far the safest and the Central and West the least. Every night on the news there is another murder or shooting on the west side. It is so common no-one pays much attention. Yet rural Pinal County and the East Valley are generally maligned for being favorable to guns, property rights and conservative. There are plenty of areas in this town where a punk cartel thug or gang-banger little be-otch would get a devestating volume of accurate return fire and thus they don t go to those places. The Old West is still alive, but the villains don t wear black hats or red sashes.
HOLY CRAP! An honest guy who doesn t want to squeeze a bunch of money out of a corporation for something that they had no control over or responsibility for. Absolutely amazing. Does this guy have a halo over his head by any chance?
unknown who or why the shots were fired. (but yet) When asked if there was any evidence to suggest involvement of Mexican drug cartels, which are active in Phoenix cheap cruises around the world uk and throughout Arizona, Thompson replied "absolutely not."
The question was very specific. Did they find evidence cheap cruises around the world uk of .. The answer cheap cruises around the world uk was NO. If the question had been, Is there a possibility of drug cartel involvement? , perhaps the answer would have been different.
It s a fact it could a fact most likely it s a rumor well you know, maybe a celebration gotten outha hand—more likely a Military/LEO joint exercise (been going on in several cities) where the LEO forgot to exchange her clip errrr I mean magazine with the blanks in it.
Must have been some tired people in that hotel to not wake up until the next morning and lucky I may add. The reason this story hasn t surfaced if true has to be because of a known Fast and Furious weapon, especially hearing they know it wasn t drug cartels when they don t even have the suspect yet.
You misunderstand the answer. The question cheap cruises around the world uk asked was IF THERE WAS ANY EVIDENCE to suggest involvement of Mexican drug cartels. The police did not rule out the possibility of a cartel being involved with their answer. They only stated that there was no EVIDENCE found to make that connection. It is BECAUSE they don t know who did it, that they cannot link it to a cartel this early in the investigation. Let s be fair and not stuff words into peoples mouths here.
A better answer would be no evidence relating cheap cruises around the world uk to the drug cartel has been found yet instead of the absolute answer the police provided. The implication is that they may not want to release any info relating to drug connections.
Not one news article anywhere about this. And it happened in the 6th largest city? Don t believe it til I see it from one of the local news channels or newspapers. Right now, it s only on this site and Reddit.
So what, the blaze spotted it on Reddit, and confirmed it with the police cheap cruises around the world uk department which must have been lying about it for some reason? You d think if they were going to lie it would be to say it DIDN T happen in their wonderful, crime-free area.
Phoenix is currently in the vicinity of the largest crossing of Cuban revolutionaries in US history thanks to Obummer. cheap cruises around the world uk Are they shooting up business hotels, trading guns for drugs? Hey, are there sparrows in the bird world? God forbid a man should eat warm oatmeal and croissants while doing the work of the common man. And we long ago gave up waiting cheap cruises around the world uk for Castro cheap cruises around the world uk and a billion socialists to string more than two cause and effect chains together to realize they just might be totally hosing down their own pooch when they disrupt business. cheap cruises around the world uk Personal cheap cruises around the world uk responsibility, morality, a sense of pay-it-forward, cheap cruises around the world uk Judo-Christian ethics, Obama couldn t be further off base if he flipped out in the middle of a base run and went to playing center field! Read Cicero s speeches on the fall of Rome. Cicero describes Obama perfectly, the loser for all seasons, a man, a senator, an emperor, literally before his own time !
I see one bullet hole in a window, some shrapnel type damage to the wall paper from broken glass and a single bullet that was nearly stopped as its velocity was transferred into the glass that did do a somewhat cheap cruises around the world uk surprising amount of damage. The hollow back of the bullet suggests to me that it was a high velocity rifle round.
Because the bullet transferred its energy into the glass and propelled the glass forward rather than punching a much cleaner cheap cruises around the world uk hole in the glass and penetrating the wall, the shot was most likely fired from a considerable distance. Probably the shot was fired from greater than three hundred yards and was barely audible from the room. The impact on the glass would have been a considerable popping sound, but would have had little reverberation due to the long cracks. Also there were no large shards of glass falling to make the typical broken window sounds. The glass hitting the opposing wall would have made an odd, brief rattle.
The one that passed through the glass is embedded in the ceiling along with the one that passed through the wall about a foot below the window. The one found on what is obviously the bathroom floor ricocheted off the door jam which is
