DRAPER — Police say a man shot a woman and then drove away with her and two children on Thursday morning.
The incident occurred at the Hampton Inn, 13711 S. 200 West, in Draper.
Just after 11:30 a.m., police received a call of a man and woman arguing in the parking lot of the hotel. Surveillance video shows the pair leaving the hotel along with a young boy, about 6 years old, and a baby in a car seat, according to a statement from Draper police.
At one point during the argument, the man pulled out a gun and fired toward the woman, police said, and it appeared that she was likely hit by the bullet.
