Officials said a man was rushed to the hospital after police learned he was shot in the leg. According to police, the shooting victim is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities said that while the shooting was believed to be an attempted robbery, nothing was actually taken from the victim.

Witnesses told reporters the victim was at the restaurant but went outside -- possibly to retrieve something from his Lamborghini SUV -- and that's when the attempted robbery and shooting occurred.

The investigation is ongoing.
