HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) — A 19-year-old man was killed and two others injured when gunfire erupted early Sunday morning outside a Hollywood nightclub.
The LAPD tells KTLA News, the gunfire erupted after a large fight broke out outside the Empire Club, located in the 1700 block of North Cahuenga Boulevard.
The shooting happened just after two a.m. as the club was closing.
A second male victim was injured and taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
An unidentified woman, who was crossing the street near the club, was grazed by a bullet, but she did not require hospital treatment.
The suspect took off and remains on the run.
The LAPD is urging anyone with information or cell phone video of the incident to contact police immediately.

WTF – we need to shut this sh*thole down, it's clearly run by criminals, and is simply a place which is only successful at one thing: hosting crimes. Read the reviews, no one even likes this dump!?! It's no surprise that a shooting would occur at an establishment of such low class crooks. How they even stay in business with such unsatisfied customers is highly questionable, there's more than likely something else keeping it afloat behind the scenes and it's time someone do a little digging and expose the truth so we can put an end to it and get the scumbag operators out of business and out of our city.

It's the scumbags who visit Hollywood that ARE NOT TOURISTS from other countries or states,making it a horrible place to work or run a successful business. Locals should just find another place to waste their time and money. Far from Hollywood!

Had more folks been pack'n there might have been a real shootout. Imagine the possible carnage!

@Little Miss. I would like to see your proof that there is "more than likely something else keeping it afloat behind the scenes". Accusations like that make you sound foolish an ill informed.
Now if more American citizens had guns on them, the perpetrator would have been killed before he could have harmed anyone.
ONE GUN PER CITIZEN 2013!!! Support the Ban on Stupidity!

Hey klan member, at least they're not shooting up a bunch of babies like white people tend to do!
January 13, 2013 at 10:18 AM
Wow, I'm shocked it is a bunch of blacks.
January 13, 2013 at 10:22 AM
From 2000-2010 blacks made up 49.6% of all known murder suspects in the USA despite only being 12%-13% of the total population.

What a surprise, blacks resorting to violence
January 13, 2013 at 12:47 PM
I think each of you are wrong, how many white people shoot up people. There are White Folks right here in America that have caused mass destruction, in some cases even more than blacks. Pointing fingers is never the correct thing to do, but instead addressing the issue of violence is key. Anyone who are out there shooting folks should be prosecuted at the fullest extent of the law.

IT MAKES ME SICK THAT TMZ NEEDS TO PUT THERE LOGO ON THE FOOTAGE, RIGHT OVER THE GUYS FACE. NO, ITS NOT HUGELY DETRIMENTAL BUT IT IS INSENSITIVE, SELFISH AND FOWL EVEN FOR TMZ. IF YOU WANT THE GUY CAUGHT WHY WOULD YOU NOT DO ANYTHING YOU COULD TO HELP. KEEP YOUR LOGO OFF THE SCREEN, DO YOU REALLY NEED CREDIT FOR BEING THERE. WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE. ITS ON YOUR WEBSITE. USE YOUR BRAIN.!!!!!!!! i watch all the time and for the FIRST time am offended that you are that clueless.

This is why I don’t go clubbing. Most guys want to fight so they can look tough in front of the females. Then there is the guys who take guns, knives, and other weapons. The sad part is that sometimes the females actually frown upon the guy who looses the fight, or doesn’t want to fight at all. Sad really, but it sure does give you an idea of what their I.q. might be, both guys and girls.
January 14, 2013 at 1:27 AM
Or perhaps you mean, which Race wants to fight and show off how tough they are because they have guns (Probably stolen).
January 14, 2013 at 3:15 PM
Wow, black people shooting each other up. What a surprise! Monkey business is right.
