Police say two people started arguing and shooting at each other. A witness called 911 and followed the men to the Hyatt Place Hotel and led police right to where they could find the suspects. Police say one of the suspects, Edward King, 51, was already dead once officers arrived at the Hyatt parking lot. That's when police say 46-year-old Patrick McManamon opened fire and shot Officer Jose Rodriguez, 53. Rodriguez and another officer were able to return fire, killing McManamon.
