Doral police responded after receiving 911 calls, and Perez said a fire alarm was also pulled.
"This was a definite attempt to lure officers into the lobby of that hotel," Perez said.
Perez added that the officers, "Did not hesitate for one second to engage this individual who was actively shooting in the lobby of the hotel."
"He had an American flag that he did drape over the counter — that all will be part of the investigation, we're going to take it from there and see what his real motives are," Perez said.
