Authorities say three people were fatally shot at a Minnesota Super 8 hotel including the suspected gunman who died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Monday night.
Police in Cloquet, Minnesota said they received a 911 call around 6:30 p.m. from an employee at the hotel after they found a co-worker who looked like she'd been attacked.
When police arrived they found a 22-year-old woman with a gunshot wound. The woman was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
A shelter-in-place order was issued and people in the surrounding area were advised to avoid the scene. The order was lifted around 8:30 p.m. after police determined there was no risk to the public.
Police officers began investigating and found a 35-year-old man dead from a gunshot wound in a car in the hotel parking lot. They later also found a 32-year-old man dead outside the hotel property from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, with a firearm next to him.

After looking through surveillance video, police determined that the man with the self-inflicted gunshot wound was the suspect.
"The Cloquet Police Department extends its sympathies to the families of the victims in this tragic case," a press release said.
Police said they don't have any information yet on a motive or if the suspected shooter knew either of the victims.
This is a developing story and more information will be updated as it becomes available. A press conference is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
