Shooting outside Nightclub in Tempe, Ariz. wounds 13
An altercation outside a nightclub in suburban Phoenix erupted in a shooting, leaving 13 people wounded including two in serious condition, police said Saturday.
Police are looking for two young men as possible suspects, who fled after the gunfire around midnight Friday in the parking lot of The Clubhouse Music Venue.
Tempe Sgt. Steve Carbajal confirmed to msnbc.com that at least two of the injured were taken to local hospitals and were in serious condition, while the others were treated for wounds that appeared to be less severe.
In an emailed statement, Carbajal said the incident occurred at 11:30 p.m. local time (2:30 a.m. ET).
Police are hunting the pair, described as black men wearing dark clothing, who fled on foot from the club on East Broadway Road, located about 7 miles east of downtown Phoenix.
Carbajal described the shooting as the result of "some sort of altercation" at the club, where a rap music concert was going on.
He didn't have immediate details on the altercation, if both of the men are suspected of firing weapons, and on the type of guns used. It's unclear whether the shooting occurred inside or outside the club.
He said some of the injured drove themselves to the various hospitals in the area so police aren't sure if there were other victims besides the 13. Their identities have not been released.
