That’s something Hartman believes as well. “The shots sounded like they were coming from different directions,” Hartman said, noting that he’s not a conspiracy theorist nor an expert.
The hotel was locked down after Hartman left. Another friend, Larry, didn’t leave and was locked in, having to spend the night in a meeting room. Larry, whose last name was not provided, was not a guest at the hotel but rather had been an attendee at a meeting. On the inside, Larry said they were receiving conflicting reports and presumed it was a terrorist attack. He added that there was a lot of commotion outside of the room, which was on the 64th floor.
Larry said there was a lot of panic in the room. The SWAT Team showed up and had everyone put their hands above their heads, not knowing if one of them was involved with the shootings. Eventually, they were moved to another room.
“It was a high-stress situation,” Larry said. He added that when they were in the larger room, some were calm and others remained panic. “You saw the range of the human emotion in that room.”
