New York: Fatal shooting, explosive materials at Poughkeepsie hotel

A fatal shooting at a Poughkeepsie hotel led to the disturbing discovery of guides and materials that could be used to make explosive devices, according to police. The incident began around 7:30 a.m. Sunday when local police responded to a reported disturbance and gunfire at the Courtyard Marriott hotel on South Road near Evergreen Avenue, authorities wrote in a Facebook post.

Responding officers took two men into custody, and located a third man wounded by gunfire at the hotel, officials said. First responders rushed that man to an area hospital, but he could not be saved. Investigators did not immediately release the identities of the three men or specify criminal charges against the two taken into custody.

During an ensuing search of the hotel, officers found one room containing manuals for making explosive devices, as well as materials that could be used as explosives, police said. The New York State Police Bomb Squad secured the materials, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives was notified of the discovery.
