An argument at a Woodbridge nightclub early Sunday led a shooter to fire into a crowd standing outside, injuring four people, according to Prince William County police.

       The incident unfolded around 2 a.m. inside the Palace nightclub on Highway 1 and spilled into the parking lot, where the unidentified suspect retrieved a firearm, police said in a statement. The suspect then fired into the crowd, striking or grazing three security officers and a female bystander, police said.

       Police described the suspect — who fled in a dark-colored sedan before police arrived and is still at large — as a thin, clean-shaven Hispanic man with short black hair and a tattoo beneath his right eye, and said he was last seen wearing a blue jacket or shirt, dark blue jeans and white shoes.

       Police did not elaborate on what the argument was about or who it was between, but are seeking to interview people inside the club who may have witnessed it.
