One suspect was taken to a hospital; another was taken into custody. Previously, a SWAT team, Elmira Police, Chemung County sheriff's officers and state police were at the east end of the motel, some with hands on their holsters, watching the back of the motel. Two helicopters are still circling an area in Big Flats where a New York State trooper was shot about 1:30 p.m. in a reported armed robbery.
