Richmond Police say the man, Samuel Riddell, 55, was later arrested and that he had claimed to be ”shooting aliens he saw in the parking lot” of his hotel in the state of Kentucky.

A woman who was with Riddell in the hotel room had locked herself in the bathroom until police arrived on the scene to help her to safety.
