Rodolfo Montoya, 37, who worked at the Long Beach Marriott, was taken into custody Tuesday at his home in Huntington Beach. Officers seized multiple high-powered firearms, including an assault rifle, 38 high-capacity magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, according to investigators.
Police said Montoya told a coworker Monday that he planned to come into work and shoot everybody he saw at the hotel. Montoya was angry about a human resources issue, according to investigators.
The coworker notified the hotels management team, who contacted police. Officers located Montoya and took him into custody the following day.
He is being held at the Long Beach City Jail in lieu of $500,000 bail. Detectives were continuing to interview him Wednesday afternoon.

I will bet you a steak dinner the cases are empty. The police are showing off the firearms. I make it as two ARs, two pistols, one revolver and one shotgun. Toss in an eclectic mix of ammo and an apparent penchant for metal ammo boxes. Your right though, nothing “high powered there. A couple of semi-automatic rifles that no-one serious about firearms considers “high power” which typically means something capable of taking big game at long distances.
This is obviously a fake photo because those magazines in the lower right hand corner are illegal in CA. The suspect could not possibly have had them!
LOL!
