Philadelphia police are investigating an incident that started with a dispute at an after-hours nightclub early on Saturday.

One of the men produced a gun and fired several shots at the guards, according to the AP.

The gunshot wounds were not considered life-threatening and the two guards, whose names have not been released, remain in stable condition, according to the Inquirer

No arrests have been reported. No other details have been made available at this time.
