Two people were injured after being shot on Saturday at a Charlotte nightclub where rappers T.I., Young Jeezy and Yo Gotti were advertised to appear, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police spokesman said.

The Charlotte Observer reported that a popular club at the North Carolina Music Factory complex was hosting a “CIAA Weekend Takeover” party when shots rang out about 7pm. The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association has been holding its annual basketball tournament in Charlotte this week.

The victims were being treated at the Carolinas Medical Centre for injuries that were not life-threatening.

It’s unclear whether the party was an officially sanctioned CIAA event.

Police spokesman Rob Tufano said several shots were fired. It’s not clear who the suspect was targeting. No arrests have been made.

USA Today is reporting all three rappers were on stage during the shooting.
