SAN DIEGO - Guests of a bayside hotel say they were left in the dark after police responded to an apparent murder-suicide.
Police responded around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday after two bodies were found in a room at the Hilton Hotel on Harbor Drive. Teresa Lamsam, who is visiting from Connecticut, told reporting partner 10 News she was the police response from the balcony of her room.
"I saw the police get out, I saw them grab long guns and come into the hotel," said Lamsam.
Lamsam says when she called the front desk they didn't really offer her any information. Fearing for her life, she took cover.
"At one point I just laid down on the floor in my room," said Lamsam. "I did not know if it was a shooter or what was going on."
According to police, hotel staff went into the room because the guests had failed to check out and that's when the bodies of a man in his 50s and a woman in her 20s or 30s were discovered. Authorities believe the man shot the woman before turning the gun on himself.
An investigation is ongoing.
