It  seems to me that the "Mush Inn" motel was in the same area and somebody aired it out with an Uzi over a drug dispute. In a separate incident, I stayed there about 35 years ago and there was constant traffic to one unit that culminated in a gunfight in the parking lot. In the morning there were empty shell casings everywhere and weird aluminum bullets that I thought were developed for use by federal air marshals in aircraft. I often wondered how they got there.
