HOUSTON – Houston police are investigating after a club bouncer and four others were injured in a shooting following a disturbance at a popular nightclub in Third Ward Thursday.
It happened at Spivey’s Famous Bistro located at 3000 Blodgett St. around 1 a.m.
Officers said they responded to a fight in progress call that turned into a shooting. When police arrived at the scene, they located the club bouncer, who had been shot in his hand. The man was transported to the hospital by the Houston Fire Department, police said.
Officers said of the four other victims that were injured in the incident, one was shot in the pelvic area and another was shot in the finger. All of the victims were taken to area hospitals by a private vehicle.
According to investigators, there was a fight that started inside the club 10 minutes before the shooting. Several people were told to leave and the disturbance was taken outside. The suspects then pulled out guns and began shooting, officers said. The suspects, described by police only as one black male and one Hispanic male, then fled the scene.
The club was reportedly promoting a biker event when the shooting occurred.
