Two men were injured in a shooting after a fight broke out in front of a Capitol Hill nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.
Witnesses began calling 911 to report a fight outside a club in the 1200 block of Pine Street around 2 a.m. When police arrived, they heard multiple gunshots and saw people attempting to leave the area.
An officer spotted a 30-year-old man trying to leave holding a gun. He was taken into custody. Police determined that he is a felon who is not allowed to possess a handgun. The man told police that he was injured, and he was then transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment.
A 35-year-old man also approached police saying he had also been shot. He was taken to Harborview for treatment.
A security guard told police that there had been a fight inside the club but they were able to get people outside before the shooting began.
Police are investigating.
