Police say the gunshots fired early Saturday outside Club Vogue, 912 Business Loop 70 E., came from an employee�s gun.

Columbia police Officer Latisha Stroer said an employee fired rounds from a handgun at four people in a vehicle after the driver nearly hit several people with a car outside the club. Officers were called at 2:53 a.m. People outside said a car driven by a black woman with three other people in it sped through the parking lot several times and almost hit bystanders, Stroer said. When the car returned, an employee confronted the driver and fired multiple shots at the car as it drove toward the employee and other people in the parking lot, Stroer said. Witnesses said the driver sped off.

Police found several casings at the scene, Stroer said, and the employee surrendered the firearm to police and is cooperating with investigators. No injuries or property damage were reported.
