Horrible Hotel Experience in Humboldt County

Occurred on January 3, 2021 / Arcata, California, USA

Info from Licensor: "I woke up in my hotel room at about 2 a.m. hearing gunshots. I looked out the window and saw 2 bullets hit the ground right in front of my room. I then saw a man on the second story with a gun standing in the doorway of his room. About 10 minutes later the man had gone back inside and an employee of the hotel showed up at the room and started knocking on the door. After a couple of minutes, a shot rang out from inside the room which hit the employee in the leg, she then ran off. About 10 minutes later the police showed up and began negotiating with the man telling him to drop the gun. The man went back into his room again and there was a loud bang and then he emerged again and black smoke was rolling out of the room. The man then continued to argue with the police saying he was going to kill himself and that he didn't do it. Then the flames reached him at the door and he got down on the ground and shot himself ending his life. All hotel guests had to evacuate the building while the fire was put out."
