A FIGHT at a Baltimore nightclub spilled onto the street early yesterday and led to an eruption of gunfire that killed a police officer and another man and left four people hurt, police said.
One of those wounded was also a police officer, who was shot in the leg, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Investigators were trying to determine if officers may have fired on a fellow officer, whose badge and other identifying markings came off his uniform during the fight, he said.
No arrests have been made, but people were being questioned, Guglielmi said.
Authorities said officers arrived at the Select Lounge in the US city to find a large fight and called for backup. Investigators still weren't sure if anyone -besides officers had fired their weapons.
"It was a pretty significant fight from what we understand. A large fight and a number of officers responded," Guglielmi said.
The police spokesman said the dead officer was 33 and an eight-year veteran of the department but said he wouldn't be identified until later today. He did not give the name of the other male victim.
Guglielmi said the second officer was shot in a leg and expected to recover.
