The other victims’ wounds were non-life-threatening, police said.
Detectives said the investigation remains open and active.
“I heard like three gunshots and I heard a car speed off, and that’s it,” said Cody Derreberry, a guest at the hotel.
Derreberry told Channel 9′s Joe Bruno he’s been staying a couple doors down from where the shooting happened, but he doesn’t know what led up to it.
Police also haven’t revealed a motive or if they’re actively looking for a suspect.
Derreberry said his heart goes out to the family of the victims.
“That’s sad as Hell man, for real, for real. That somebody is willing to do that to a pregnant woman and a baby, that’s taking a whole another life that hasn’t been put in the world yet,” Derreberry said.
Police haven’t given an update on the victims’ current conditions. We’ll bring you updates when more details are available.
