HOLLYWOOD >> Three men were shot, one critically, possibly from an argument inside a Hollywood nightclub Sunday that eroded outside into a shooting, police said.

The shooting occurred just after 3 a.m. in the 1400 block of North La Brea Avenue, said Officer Norma Eisenman of the LAPD’s Media Relations Section.

The three victims, ages 20 to 25, possibly got into an argument with the suspect and the argument continued outside the location, where the suspect pulled out a gun and fired several shots at them, Eisenman said.

One victim suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder, another to the knee and the last victim suffered a gunshot wound to the neck, she said. All three were rushed to an area hospital, where the victim suffering from the gunshot wound to the neck was listed in critical condition. The other two were listed in stable condition.

The suspect fled on foot.
