Shooting at Sheraton Hotel involved Saudi Special Forces, by: Jim Spiewak, Joshua Tucker, Tony Atkins, Greg Coy Updated: May 26, 2017 - 8:36 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The Sheraton Hotel located downtown is back open after a shooting closed it down for hours.
Two people, a suspect and the victim of a robbery are at Regional One as Memphis police search for other suspects involved in an apparent robbery inside the hotel.
FOX13 has learned from multiple law enforcement sources that the victim is from Saudi Arabia and a member of that country’s elite special forces.
We are still working to find out what happened, but apparently the victim let someone into his room and then the robbery happened.
Law enforcement sources told us there was a gun fight and both the suspect and the victim were both shot in the leg.
The accused robber was severely wounded.
We are still working to find out about why police have identified one of the suspects as a young woman.
What is her connection to the crime and shooting? Was she inside the hotel room where the shooting happened and why?
Radio traffic obtained by FOX13 showed the Saudi team of seven held down the gun.
We contacted the Saudi Arabia Embassy in New York.
A staffer would neither confirm nor deny what we have learned.
FOX13 also contacted the U.S. State Department in Washington, DC.
A spokesperson emailed a response that said in part, “We are looking into the matter.”
FOX13 contacted the MPD and asked specifically if the two people taken to Regional One were both American or was one them a foreign national.
The department replied, “This is an ongoing investigation.”
No additional information is available at this point.
This crime took place a short distance and one day after U. S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to Memphis to talk the federal response to the growing violent crime problem here and around the nation.
