An early morning nightclub shooting in Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood left two people dead, including a security guard.

Officers found a security guard suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to a post on the Seattle Police Blotter. While rendering medical aid to him, they discovered another victim with an apparently fatal gunshot wound to the head.

The suspect or suspects fled before police arrived. Detectives are working to determine what led to the gunfire.
