One man was killed and a security guard was wounded in a shootout early Wednesday at a cabaret in Stemmons Corridor, police said.

Officers found a man dead in the road and a security guard with a gunshot wound in the chest just after midnight near the Zona Rosa Cabaret, at Regal Row and Stemmons Freeway.

Officers said the shooting came after the guard spotted a suspicious person looking into vehicles parked at the club. The two exchanged gunfire, and the gunman was killed.

The guard was hospitalized with minor injuries. He was wearing a bulletproof vest, which may have saved his life, police said.

The shooting is under investigation, and the case will be referred to a grand jury.
