Arizona Nightclub Shooting: Gunfire at Nipsey Hussle Concert Leaves 13 Injured [Video]
An evening at a Tempe, Arizona nightclub turned into horror for thirteen people, who were shot in the parking lot of the popular music venue late Friday, according to local police.
Tempe Police spokesman Sergeant Steve Carbajal said officers responded to reports of shots fired at the Clubhouse Music Venue at 11:30pm local time.
Rapper Nippsy Hustle was scheduled to appear at the club, according to the venue’s web site. Local television news reported that gunfire erupted outside the club shortly before Hustle took to the stage.
“People stampeded over security. Not what I expected to be doing on a Friday night — dodging bullets,” said Paul Butler, who witnessed the shooting.
Authorities said that while there were no fatalities as of Saturday morning, at least two of the injured were in a serious condition in hospital, while the others were being treated for less severe injuries.
“People have reported that after the shooting, two black males wearing dark colored clothing fled the scene on foot,” Carbajal said. “Those individuals have not been located at this time.”
Carbajal didn’t have immediate details on the cause of the shooting, or on whether both of the men are suspected of firing weapons, or the type of guns used.
Reuters reports that cellphone video of the shooting aftermath taken by a concert goer showed a man taking off his t-shirt to use as a tourniquet on a shooting victim.
