A dad who was visiting his son at a special Family Weekend at Marist College was shot dead when he was caught in the crossfire as bullets flew in the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott hotel where he was staying.

Paul Kutz, 53, was caught in the mayhem of the shootout at the hotel in Poughkeepsie.

The violence suddenly began after a suspect got into an argument with workers at the hotel as he was in the lobby getting coffee on Sunday morning at 7:30am.

Two homeless men with gang ties were arrested following the shooting with police reporting finding bomb-making equipment and together with a 'ghost gun' rifle in one of the rooms at the hotel.

Other news sources are saying both animals have previous felonies. Of course.

The democrats are doing this on purpose. There’s a lot of money in that white powder.

Well, when you have Soros-bought DAs and governors, tragedies like this are to be expected. Felons belong in cages, not walking the streets with guns.

If they're staying at the hotel, they aren't homeless.

This didn’t happen. El Governente Hochul said guns were banned in New York state. Obviously Drumpf’s white supremacists were behind this.

Devin Taylor, 26, has been named as a suspect in the case and was a suspect in a previous murder case and robber. A second suspect was identified as Roy Johnson Jr., NBC reported.

One of the shooters was found to be in possession of a 30-round, high-capacity magazine.

Johnson, 35, is believed to be the Courtyard Marriott shooter, and was charged with murder; both men face criminal weapons charges. Johnson has been accused of shooting Kutz in the chest.

Kutz was rushed to MidHudson Regional Hospital in Poughkeepsie, where he was pronounced dead.

Police said both Johnson and Taylor had been staying at the hotel however it was not clear how long they had been there.

Following the shooting, a search of the hotel was conducted whereupon investigators found materials that could be used as explosives together with instructions on how to make a bomb including Tannerite, which is used in long-range target practice and explodes upon impact, Police Chief Joseph Cavaliere said.

Senior law enforcement officials revealed the suspected shooter has a Glock switch on his handgun that converted it into a fully automatic weapon.

The gun was found on top of the suspect’s car while a second weapon was located in one of the hotel rooms.

‘Two individuals that are in custody are known to law enforcement, having no association with the parent of student that we are aware of, and we do not believe that it is affiliated or associated with activities at Marist,’ D

Or they are homeless and the State dumped them there. It will be interesting to find out how they ended up there.

From August...

The victim’s family needs to sue the crap out of Marriott if homeless were being housed there and paying guests weren’t informed.

In San Fran Sicko they put the homeless in nice hotels, and then DELIVERED alcohol and drugs to their rooms. What was ‘delivered’ to the New York thugs?

There is also a strategy that the inertia of lawlessness caused by the Soros DA initiative will drive the population to support mass civil disarmament.

Ah, the often-times evil side of “good intentions”. Putting effin’ bums in a normal environment gets decent people KILLED!

It’s what conservative radio host Chris Plant said on his show today ...”We are the Democrat Party. We will kill you”.

New York is moving “homeless” gang members into expensive hotels.

Insanity.

NYC is. Not sure about the State.

I was just wondering if the State is now engaging in the City insanity.

The family needs to sue Marriott.

They’ll probably offer millions just to settle. They are completely culpable.
