MENTOR, Ohio — A 30-year-old man was wounded Wednesday morning when two suspects opened fire on the victim as he sat in his car in the parking lot of a hotel, police say.
The shooting was reported at about 8 a.m. at an unspecified hotel on Emerald Court, which is located by the Diamond Centre shopping area east of Heisley Road, just south of Ohio 2. The victim, who does not live in Ohio, tells police he was staying at the hotel with a male companion.
Two males in a white sedan opened fire while the victim was in his car, with several bullets hitting the vehicle. The victim, who was wounded in his left arm, drove out of the hotel parking lot and through several other parking lots before going inside a nearby business to ask for help, police say.
The victim was taken to a hospital and his wound is not considered life-threatening.
Police are searching for the suspects, who left the area before officers arrived.
