Three concert-goers at the State Theatre in Falls Church were shot and wounded early Monday after a fight broke out just as a show there was ending, authorities said.

According to a Falls Church police spokeswoman, officers were sent to the theater — a converted movie theater which now hosts concerts — just before 2 a.m. after a fight broke out inside. The spokeswoman, Susan Finarelli, said people were just beginning to head for the exits — making for a “chaotic” scene.

Finarelli said that near a side street and parking lot outside, someone fired multiple rounds, wounding three people. One man who was struck in the shoulder went back inside and sought help, and was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital, Finarelli said. The other two men reported on their own to a hospital in Frederick, Md., and told authorities that they had been shot in Falls Church, Finarelli said.

Finarelli said none of the men’s wounds were thought to be life-threatening.

It was unclear what sparked the fight or if that led directly to the shooting outside, Finarelli said. She said police think there was only one shooter, though they did not have a good description of him, other than that he was a male standing about 5’8”.

According to information on its website, the theater, on North Washington Street, was hosting a go-go show Sunday night called “Love, Peace and Unity 2,” featuring Northeast Groovers and Scarface. Finarelli said all of those wounded had attended the concert, though she was unsure whether the suspect had or if the shooting was in any way related to the show.
