Police are investigating a shooting at a Hollywood laundromat that sent two women to the hospital Monday evening.

Officers responded to the scene in the 2500 block of Sheridan Street just after 6 p.m. after reports of a shooting. Once they arrived, officers found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

Surveillance footage from a nearby business showed the moments before and after the shooting. Two women are seen wheeling a hamper full of clothes before they go inside the laundromat.

Then a dark-colored SUV pulls up. A few people get out of the car, go inside the business and then gunshots were fired.

Less than a minute later, two women β€” including one wearing green pants β€” are seen casually leaving the laundromat and getting into a black Mercedes before driving off.

The surveillance video then shows police immediately running over and then a cop car pulls up. When the ambulance arrived, both victims were taken to Memorial Regional Hospital, where they are listed in critical condition. Their identities weren't released.

Employees at a barbershop in the same plaza were stunned when they heard about the shooting.

β€œIt's unfortunate because we never experience stuff like that in this plaza, but it happens, you know," said Ray Garcia, who works at Universal Barbershop.

Investigators have not released details on the shooting or a description of a suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.
