CEDAR RAPIDS — Authorities said a shooting inside a crowded Cedar Rapids nightclub has left a man and a woman dead and 10 people wounded.

Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman said investigators believe two men fired more than a dozen shots inside the Taboo Nightclub and Lounge just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

He said officers who were just outside the club because of an earlier incident rushed inside just as 100-140 people streamed out of the bar and found the victims.

The gunmen likely escaped as the crowd fled.

The names of the victims were released.

One of the people injured was in critical condition Sunday afternoon while the other injuries ranged from serious to minor.
