HOUSTON (AP) — Gunfire erupted outside a Houston night club early Wednesday, killing three people and wounding two others as hundreds of confused concert-goers hit the ground in panic, witnesses and police said.

The shooting occurred in a strip mall parking lot outside the Score’s Cabaret strip club and an adjacent night club. The shots rang out right around 3 a.m., just as some 300 people were exiting the night club after a rap concert. By the time police arrived, three people, including one woman investigators described as an innocent bystander, were dead. Two others, including a Houston rapper, were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
