2AMer in Longview, TX

Two men were shot early Thursday after an ongoing fight reached its breaking point at an after-hours strip club.

Police responded to reports of gun fire just after 2 a.m. at Cloud Nine Gentlemen's Club in the 1100 block of West Marshall Avenue, said Longview Police Department spokeswoman Kristie Brian.

Witnesses told police two groups of men were arguing when shots were fired.

Two men, on opposing sides of the dispute, were shot, causing “life threatening” injuries, Brian said.

She said the ongoing feud is not believed to be gang-related.

The Longview Police Department has not released names of the victims.

Police found seven bullet shells at the club but are unsure how many guns were involved, Brian said.

Police say both men were taken to Good Shepherd Medical Center, and no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective David Cheatham at (903) 237-1147.
