There have been no arrests following a Friday evening triple shooting at a Pocono Mountains Hotel that left at least two people hospitalized, according to a report.

Monroe County officials told WNEP-TV 16 two people were shot outside the Travelodge Hotel on Route 611 around 8 p.m., and a third person showed up at a nearby hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. The hotel is in Paradise Township near Mount Pocono.

So far there have been no arrests and police have not said if they have a suspect, the report states.

A dispatcher at the state police Swiftwater barracks said she had no further information Sunday morning. A Pocono Township police officer referred comment to state police.

Investigators had believed the shooting was the result of a fight between workers building a nearby water park, according to the report. State police said they do not believe it was a random act or that the public is in danger, the report also states.

Video footage of the scene taken by WNEP shows police swarming the outside of the hotel. A woman who lives at the hotel interviewed by a television reporter had said on the video the area is normally quiet.

"There were just police everywhere. They were all over the lot, SWAT gear and guns, and all that," she said.

A clerk who answered the phone at the Travelodge Sunday said the hotel remains open for business.
