EL PASO, Texas —

Police are investigating a shooting at a local night club.

Around 1a.m. Friday morning, security asked two customers at the Peoria nightclub in west El Paso to leave because the two men were smashing bottles and making threats, witnesses said.

According to the nightclub security, when the two men reached their vehicle they pulled out a gun and started firing in the direction of the club.

As the pair drove away they also fired shots, traveling southeast on North Mesa Street near Kern Street.

No one was injured and the building wasn't damaged, according to police.

"When they took him out [the alleged shooter], he started saying that he was going to come back and shoot up the place. They [nightblub employees] locked us up inside. About ten minutes later they let us out the back door, " said a man who was at the nightclub when the incident happened.

Witnesses described one of the men as being Hispanic and the other as African-American.

Security told KFOX14 the suspect vehicle was a Chrysler 300.

If you have any information you're asked to call the police at 915-832-4400.
