WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Three people were shot in the Williamsburg area of York County early Monday morning.
Authorities tell 13News Now the shooting happened in the Embassy Suites parking lot next to Mooretown Road.
“I came out this morning to get something out of my car that I had forgotten and saw there was a lot of police activity," said hotel guest Vince Burruano.
York-Poquoson Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of gunshots at 12:25 Monday morning.
“We had some deputies that were right across the bridge on Richmond Road so our response time was pretty quick," said York-Poquoson Sheriff's Major Ronald Montgomery.
Medics took two victims to the hospital. The other victim drove himself to the hospital.
Major Montgomery said the three men in their 20s are believed to have non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.
“I’m from the Washington D.C. area [and] these things are not uncommon, unfortunately, in a huge metropolitan area. But to be down in the middle of Williamsburg in this very historic district... I guess there are no limits to where this type of violence can occur," said Burrauno, who is in town visiting his son who is in the Navy.
The York-Poquoson Sheriff's Office reported on its Facebook page that all three victims are expected to be okay.
“We don't typically have crimes like this," said Montgomery. Montgomery said bullets hit multiple cars and part of the hotel. He described it as an isolated incident.
“One of the victims, at least, was a guest there. The other two were part of a group who were outside in the parking lot according to some of the witnesses. We're still trying to determine where they are from," said Montgomery.
The YPSO didn't share any information about possible suspects. However, they are going to look at surveillance cameras around the areas to see if they can find out what happened.
