One man is dead after a shooting outside an LGBTQ nightclub in Dallas, police say.

According to officials, the shooting happened shortly after 2:30 a.m. Sunday outside of The View nightclub on Riverfront Boulevard.

Police said the shooting victim was in an argument with another man when he drove his car into that man and his car. That’s when the other man shot him.

The injured man, who has not yet been publicly identified, was taken to a hospital where he died.

The View, a recent addition to LGBTQ nightlife, opened on Sunday night at the normal time. A manager said the shooting was a sad, but isolated incident and that the club is cooperating with the Dallas Police investigation.

The manager added that the club was opened to be a safe space for the gay community and still plans to make sure it is as the situation was a personal altercation between two people.
