Police are on the hunt for the gunmen involved in a shootout inside a Roosevelt Boulevard motel that was caught on surveillance video.
On March 31, at 12:28 a.m., police responded to a radio call for a shooting inside the Roosevelt Motor Inn at 7600 Roosevelt Boulevard in the Rhawnhurst section of the city.
An employee told police he heard gunshots coming from a hallway and then spotted an unidentified man running past the front desk armed with a handgun. The employee claimed the man fled through the parking lot and then south on the Boulevard.
Police recovered surveillance video showing two armed men running through hallways and shooting at each other.
"It looked like it was something out of a video game or movie," said Philadelphia Police Lieutenant John Stanford. "It appears that they do this on a daily basis in terms of their demeanor."
Yagna Patel, the manager of the hotel, told NBC10 he would increase security starting next week in an effort to keep his guests and staff safe.
