Two people were treated and released after being shot in the parking lot of a Conway club, according to Catina Hipp, Conway police spokeswoman.

Officers were called at 2:45 a.m. today to Total Experience at 618 Church St., for gun shots fired in the area, Hipp said. When officers arrived they saw people running from the area and learned that a woman was taken by vehicle to Conway Medical Center after being shot in the leg.

Officers went to the hospital and learned the woman was walking to a vehicle in the parking lot when she heard several gunshots and felt a burning sensation in her leg, Hipp said. The woman said someone put her in a vehicle and took her to the emergency room.
