KING COUNTY, Wash. — Deputies are investigating after an employee at a spa was shot during an attempted robbery Thursday night in Skyway.

The victim, a man of Asian descent, was taken to Harborview Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, deputies said.

Law enforcement said they want to make it clear that there is no indication of a hate crime and it appears to be an attempted robbery.

Deputies are looking for two suspects and have no description of them yet.

Dogs were brought in to try and track them down.
