Two people were shot at a Mesquite motel Thursday afternoon, police say, and the shooter remains at large.

Officers responded to the Delux Inn in the 3800 block of U.S. Highway 80, near North Town East Boulevard, around 1 p.m. after a robbery was reported.

There was no word on the condition of the people who were shot, police told KXAS-TV (NBC5). They were taken to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas.

Officers, who continue to investigate, said a person of interest had fled the scene.
