According to police, the woman was shot in the back and the man was grazed by a bullet in the back of the head.

Both were taken to Brooke Army Medical Center where they are expected to recover.

Police said the man, however, has since been uncooperative with officers. Authorities say the shooting appears to have happened at another location, and then the pair drove to the Knights Inn where they called for help.
