The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation Police Department says it responded Monday morning to an “active law enforcement situation” in a hotel room at Foxwoods Resorts Casino.

It issued the following statement:

“Law enforcement are managing a situation in a Fox Tower hotel room involving an individual believed to have unlawfully restrained two people before quickly releasing them earlier this morning. Reports of a hostage situation are incorrect. We urge against the spreading of unverified information. This is an isolated and contained situation. Official updates will be made as they become available.”

News 12 will have more details on this story as it develops.
