One person is dead from a gunshot wound at a nightclub in Rock Hill early Sunday morning.

The incident happened around 1 a.m. at The Hideaway Club at 405 Baskins Road.

Deputies arrived to find a 28-year-old man with a gunshot wound. He was immediately taken to the hospital, where he later died, police said.

Officials said the victim and several other people were involved in a fight. All were asked to leave the club and were escorted to the parking lot by employees.

A short time later, the victim tried to re-enter the club and was stopped by the 76-year-old business owner. The victim then assaulted the owner, police said, so the owner pulled out a gun and fatally shot him.

At this time no one is in custody or charged.
