Two men died early Sunday after they were shot outside a nightclub in Sacramento County, according to the sheriff’s office. Officers responded to reports of the shooting around 1:45 a.m. at a nightclub in the 7000 block of Governor’s Circle in south Sacramento.

The suspects in the shooting fled in a white vehicle and were later detained by California Highway Patrol officers. During the investigation, detectives discovered that a group of gang members were at the nightclub and had refused to leave at closing time, leading to a fight in the parking lot, authorities said.
