MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- An early morning shooting at a Milwaukee gas station is caught on camera.

The shooting happened near 14th and Locust around 4:15 a.m. on Wednesday. Police say a 17-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man were both shot, but expected to be okay.

CBS 58 spoke with the owners of the gas station where it happened.

"One time shot, two time shot, then third time shot," Locust Quik Mart owner Herginder Singh said. "I was scared so I took the phone and laid down. All customers I told to lay down, so all the customers laid down."

Surveillance video shows a man standing outside of the gas station next to a car. He suddenly bends down and then two other people crawl out of the car and into the gas station.

"The lady came inside, she had blood...and she was showing boyfriend," Singh said. "The boyfriend is laid down here in the middle of the door so I can't lock the door, I said come inside fast."

Later Wednesday morning, the blood was still visible inside the store.

Singh said after he told people inside the store he was going to call police, several people, including those who appeared to be shot, got back in the car and drove away.

Milwaukee Police are searching for suspects.
