It was the brother of the head Saudi prince trying to assassinate his brother who on reliable Intel had moved out of that Hotel I believe that day in secret to another one a few miles away. The fucked up thing is the American intel community with a silent black ops helicopter with I believe a jet airliner ID was hovering in the area also shooting from what I've read and the brother ended up be under Saudi form of home imprisonment and had to cough up 8 billion or all of his assets for freedom. The head prince is the one that is most happy with Trump instead of Obama in office and the assassin one liked Obama and wanted to kill the other prince to have his much more powerful position in the Saudi government by murder. I'm shocked no one else commented about this already.
