Another shooting at a club

8/5/2011 5:12:54 AM

Police say a shooting outside a strip club on Detroit's east side has left one employee dead and another wounded.
Detroit, Michigan

WXYZ, WDIV and WWJ-AM report the shooting happened early today at the Pretty Woman Lounge after an employee working at the door refused to let a man inside. The shooting happened around 2 am Friday morning.
Police say the man opened fire, killing the employee and wounding another. The man fled.
No injuries to the few dozen patrons inside the club at the time of the shooting were reported.

The club is located on Van Dyke just south of 7 Mile Road is in a mostly black area. I've only been there years ago. I stopped going and have no plans to visit again. At this point, radio reports indicate the valet was killed and the manager was wounded.

I've been down there a few times, always felt dangerous, but nothing bad happened when I was around.

I can't stand it when idiots feel its necessary to shoot someone because they don't get what they want. He going to go to jail for 25 to life because he couldn't get in to see some titties. Where he is going when he gets caught (an he will because he's stupid) he won't see titties ever again. Or they will be on his cellmate, 400-pound Mack the Knife and he doesn't want to see those.

I'll report them as they happen. It pains me when it does, but it doesn't do anyone here a service to hide the bad as it happens. I'd truely hate any bad experiences happening to our members as they visit.

VM. Yes, it's painful, but we need to know and learn where to be extra careful.

So far no one's said there's a connection between the two shootings.

One report said the shooter refused to be searched when he tried to enter the club and got into an argument. I've been to a few clubs with metal detectors and feel a bit uneasy about it, but I can see why it's necessary.

Detroit - with the good you get the bad. It's not all fun.
