This is an incident report and there is no information indicating that it is terrorism related. Additional details will be provided as they become available.
Update: Reports indicate the smoke bomb was military grade. Very little other information is being released.
Guests were evacuated Sunday night when a smoke bomb went off on the fourth floor of the Hilton Garden Inn, 1940 W. Pinnacle Peak Road in northwest Phoenix.
Officials found other weapons in the room where the bomb detonated, including guns and bullets, said Frank Salomon, deputy chief of public affairs for the Phoenix Fire Department.
Officials are still investigating who if anyone was in the room. The hotel evacuated about 35 rooms, containing roughly 60 people including guests and staff, said Salomon.
Phoenix Fire Department crews were on the scene. The call came in at about 7 p.m.

“No information indicating that it is terrorism related”…..bomb, guns, bullets….guess it was just a temporary storage unit for those types of items, huh?
If those items wouldn’t cause terror, what in the heck would they be used for? Display?
Sure hope more details come out on this one!
I agree with you, sounds like terror related to me also. It sounds like anything “terror related” incidents that occur in the U.S.why is it the reports are just “incident reports” and not “terror”. But, oh, anything outside of our homeland is classified “terror” not just an “incident report”. Bomb exploding, guns and ammo found, again I agree TERROR NOT INCIDENT. Our country need be more honest with us and stop covering up the facts WE AS CITIZENS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW
Any law enforcement officers staying in the hotel at the time?…Not unheard of that a LE smoke grenede goes off accidently……
