Officers responded to a shooting at a motel at the above address and found a male suspect who had suffered a gunshot wound while attempting to rob the occupants of a motel room.  Responding paramedics pronounced the male dead at the scene.  A witness stated he saw the suspect approach the motel room with a pistol drawn and held in front of him as he entered the room.  The witness then heard a gunshot and called police.  The occupants of the motel room fled. 

It is believed there were two additional suspects waiting in a dark-colored, four-door Nissan in the parking lot outside the room.  The vehicle fled immediately after the shooting occurred.
