When officers arrived, they say there were more than 260 people locked inside the club, which has a legal capacity of 99.
No major injuries were reported.
Before it was all over, a fight broke out in the parking lot, a woman got hit by a car, and a man who fired more shots drove off, hitting a building and a parked car.
The club owner, 56-year-old Bettie Johnson, is charged with reckless conduct and license violations.
