Two people have been rushed to hospital following a drive-by shooting at a Niagara Falls strip club.
It happened around 2 a.m. Friday at Sundowner on Lundy’s Lane.
Good morning #Niiagara. I can confirm there was an overnight shooting incident at the Sundowner in Niagara Falls. 2 persons were injured. I am trying to get more details from the very busy detectives. I will issue a media release ASAP.

Police say someone on a dark coloured motorcycle began firing shots at the building from the roadway.
Two employees were hit and had to be airlifted to an out of region trauma centre. Police would not confirm the ages of the victims but sources tell CHCH News that one was in their 20’s, the other in their 30’s.
Despite the shooting, the club was open early this afternoon. The owner would not answer any questions but has said he has shown police surveillance footage of the incident.
The owner of the Sundowner also owns the strip club next door called Seductions and they also have cameras all over their building.
Police are asking cab drivers who may have been in the parking lot of the club last night to turn over any dash camera footage they may have of the attacker.
Despite the footage though police say identifying the attacker is difficult, because he was wearing a helmet that covered his face.
Police believe this was an isolated, targeted incident but did not comment on a motive.
