Freedom Division officers received a call for service at 10:40 p.m. in reference to gunfire at the lounge. When they arrived, they found two victims with non-life-threatening wounds to their legs. A third person, later determined to be a suspect, was lying outside the lounge with gunshot wounds to the head and abdomen.

Another club employee fired back at the two suspects, striking one in the head; he was taken with life-threatening injuries to Carolinas Medical Center.

A second suspect fled the scene.
