VICTORVILLE:(VVNG.com)- Deputies responded to the Travel Inn & Suites located on the 14900 block of 7th Street following a report of shooting at the business.
The alleged shooting was reported just after 12:00 A.M., on Monday, November 9, 2015.
Per scanner traffic, the suspect shot out a window near the front office and attempted to rob the victim inside. The suspect, described as a Hispanic male adult in a gray hoodie and a gray beanie took off running on foot towards Circle Drive.
After a brief search of the area police caught up with the suspect near the corner of Culley Street and Lacy Street. The deputy reported the suspect was uncooperative, per scanner reports. Moments later the deputy called out “shots fired” and requested for medical to respond.
