Two "barricaded subjects" remained inside a New Hampshire hotel Thursday morning, after a standoff began there Wednesday evening, according to reports.

One suspect who fired at police was reportedly killed at the Quality Inn in Manchester, the reports said.

Shortly after 6 a.m. Thursday, Manchester police wrote on Twitter that there were "no real changes at this point in time" since a news conference was held earlier in the morning.

Police said earlier Thursday that multiple shots had been fired and that "chemical agents" had been deployed at the hotel in a bid to subdue the suspects. The standoff reportedly started around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
