Paramedics transported employees Stephen King and Amanda Justice to Wayne Memorial Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. They were released a few hours later.

“They had their faces covered and one of them said, ‘Give me the money,’” King said of the suspect.

King says he asked the suspects to hold on, and he turned away. Then the suspects began shooting.

“I said, ‘Oh my God, he shot me,’” King said.

King was shot in the thigh.

As the suspects exited the hotel, they shot Justice in the lobby. The bullet grazed her leg.

Police are looking for at least three suspects.
