SEATTLE – A series of large fights outside of a Pioneer Square nightclub ended in gunfire early Saturday morning.

Police say they received multiple reports of shots being fired in the parking lots of Club Volume just before 2:30 a.m.

Staff from Club Volume alerted officers to a victim inside the club who had been shot in the foot. The victim was a 32-year-old liquor distributor and promoter who happened to be working at the club that night. 

The victim told officers he had gone to his car to get more liquor when he saw large fights in the parking lots on both the north and south side of the block. 

“He heard shots, and ran back into the club – at which point he realized his foot was injured,” Detective Renee Witt said.

The victim was taken to Harborview Medical Center with minor injuries. 

Officers searched but were unable to find evidence, and say witness accounts were “vague and conflicting.”

No suspect information is available, and no other injuries were reported. The investigation is on-going.
