The suspect then drove away. Seven or eight shell casings were found in the parking lot. No arrests have been made.
Fitzgerald said it appears only one of the shooting victims was involved in a fight. Others were on the sidelines. All five people, aged between 33 and 49, are in stable condition and hospitalized, he added.

Fitzgerald said police are also investigating why the club was open past 2 a.m., since the club does not have a city long-hours permit.
