FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- Authorities say a security guard responding to a disturbance at a central California motel was shot and killed.

Fresno Police were called to a Motel 6 Thursday night after the guard was shot several times in the upper body. His name was not released.

The security guard was not assigned to work at the motel. He was responding there to help other guards within the company he works for dealing with the disturbance.
