Tamang and his colleague, MPO David Reid, arrived at the Holiday Inn Express hotel at around 7:30 am on Sunday to respond to a complaint about fraud at the hotel. During a discussion in the hotel room, 35-year-old Kevin Andrews suddenly pulled out a gun and opened fire. Tamang died on the spot in the ensuing gunfire.
