It was just after 8:30 P.M. when police were called to the Courtyard by Marriott.  The officers were responding to a report of two shots fired in the Troy hotel.  Not only did law enforcement determine there was no shooting, but they also determined the 9-1-1 call didn't come from the hotel.  Would you believe the call came from a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over at the time?

After being confronted about these findings, the 30-year-old girlfriend of the driver that was pulled over confessed to calling in a fake shooting to 9-1-1 with the hopes police would let her boyfriend go to respond to the active shooter call at the hotel.
