A former employee at a game room and arcade has been arrested after police said he shot three people when he returned to rob the Charlotte business.

Officers called to Fish House North, a game room and arcade, for a report of a robbery, found three employees had been shot, news outlets report. They were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening, police said.

The wounded employees told police that a man wearing a hooded jacket over his head and a mask came to the door and when he was asked to reveal himself, he refused and grabbed the door to get inside.
