Police have identified the suspect who shot at U.S. Marshals during Friday night's standoff at a south-side motel.

45-year-old Jack Voris is facing seven counts of attempted murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of prohibited possessor in relation to last night's incident, said Deputy Ryan Inglett, a Pima County Sheriff's Department spokesman.

Voris surrendered after barricading himself in a room at the Quality Inn & Suites Airport North, 5251 S. Julian Drive. We was booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Complex last night.

The incident began in the afternoon when marshals went to serve an arrest warrant at the hotel and were shot at by a man inside one of the rooms, said Chris de Rosa, a U.S. Marshals Service spokesman.

De Rosa said he could not elaborate about what led to the arrest warrant. 

Rooms were evacuated and sheriff's deputies took over the scene as the county regional Special Weapons and Tactics team was called in to contain the situation, Inglett said.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
