BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Buffalo Police are investigating a shooting incident that took place just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday at Club Marcella on Michigan Avenue.
Police say a 30-year-old Buffalo man was shot inside a bathroom at the club. According to police, the man was transported to ECMC and is described as stable.
This is the third shooting at Club Marcella in less than a year. On January 29, a security guard was shot in the parking lot. Two weeks later on February 12, one person was killed and two others were injured in a shooting inside the club.
As a result of this most recent attack the Buffalo Police Commissioner has ordered the immediate shutdown of the nightclub.
On Monday, police announced two people are in custody in connection to the shooting.
Speaking exclusively to the 7 News I-Team in April, Club Marcella owner Joe Marcella, insisted security protocols at the club were working. You can find that story below.
Joe Marcella released the following statement to 7 News on Sunday:
"We went through all club protocols with security at the door. We are tough at the door with pat downs and metal detectors. How do you stop a ghost gun? We do more than anyone else in the city with two pat downs and we are tough on security. I stand by my staff. They are well trained."
