Two bouncers who tackled a gunman holding a cocked pistol after shots were fired into a busy nightclub early Sunday morning are being credited by police and witnesses with risking their own lives to prevent further trauma.

...Glaicar said three men in a vehicle pulled up to the bar early Sunday morning and one of the men exited the vehicle, walked to the front door of the nightclub and fired at least one shot inside.

Police are working to determine if the incident was targeted or random, and investigators don’t yet have a motive.

...The incident was labelled a “senseless and random act of violence” in a statement released Sunday by the nightclub where the shooting occurred.

Police have charged both Mohamed Elmi, 31, and Mohamed Salad, 29, with attempted murder in relation to the shooting.
