PHOENIX - Two people were taken to Valley hospitals after they were shot during an argument at a Phoenix hotel.

A Phoenix fire official says the first victim was found around 1 p.m. at a hotel near Interstate 17 and Dunlap Avenue.

About 10 minutes later a second shooting call came in near 19th and Dunlap avenues.

One patient was transported to John C. Lincoln Hospital and the other was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital.

According to Phoenix police, there were seven people in the hotel room when an argument broke out and the two victims were shot.

A 30-year-old woman was shot in the forearm and a 34-year-old male was shot in the shoulder. The injuries were not life-threatening.

The woman was taken to the hospital from the hotel.

The male and his girlfriend tried driving to the hospital but only made it a mile from the hotel before calling for help.

Police said all seven people know each other and are cooperating with police.

The suspect remains at large at this time, and the shooting appears to be drug-related according to police.
