OKLAHOMA CITY -
A northwest
Oklahoma City neighborhood is on edge after a shootout at a club located right
next door.
Police say
gunfire erupted overnight inside Club Pulse, located at 3034 N. Portland. The
commotion moved into the parking where police say armed security guards got
involved and shot back. Four people were shot, all with non-life-threatening
injuries.
Police are still
trying to piece it all together on how it all went down, but what we do know
for certain is the people who live next door are scared.
"It's out of
control," said one man who didn't want to be identified.
In fact, all the
neighbors that spoke out are so scared they wanted to remain anonymous, but
they did want to talk about what it's like is having a club basically in your
backyard.
"Every other
night when they're open, I'm awake until like 2 o'clock," said a man whose
backyard backs up to the parking of the club. "There are people fighting. You
hear people screaming all the time."

This time the
partying led to a shooting.
"I was laying in
bed with my little great nephew and all of a sudden I heard several gunshots,"
said another woman who lives on the same block. "I look in the backyard and
there's police everywhere. There's people on the ground. It's scary."
Police say the
gunfire erupted inside the club and continued into the parking lot.
"Security guards
that are here on scene that are armed security guards engaged the suspects in
the parking lot and exchanged gunfire," said Capt. Dexter Nelson with the
Oklahoma City Police Department.
Four people were shot, but expected to be OK. The bullets also hit several cars and at least one house. And
even though police took three people into custody, the situation isn't sitting
well with those who live next door.
"It worries me a lot," said one mother of several
young children. "You never know if a bullet would shoot through the window or
if your kids are in the backyard."
It's a fear that
continues for this mother, at least for now.
"We don't have a
choice right now, the money and things like that," she said. "But I don't'
think I want to let the club move me out of my neighborhood."
The
three people taken into custody are only possible suspects at this time. Police
are still trying to determine how many people were actually involved. If you
