A shooting at a South Carolina nightclub early Sunday left two people dead and eight wounded, AP reported, citing a sheriff's official.

Two Greenville County sheriff's deputies first noticed a "disturbance" at Lavish Lounge before 2 a.m., and saw a large crowd running out of the building, Sheriff Hobart Lewis told a press conference. There was "active gunfire from inside the building," Lt. Jimmy Bolt said in an initial statement.

Both Lewis and Bolt initially said 12 people were injured, but Bolt later told AP that two victims were likely counted twice in the confusion at the hospital, according to the news agency.

Victims at the nightclub were taken to the Prisma Health hospital in Greenville, some by private vehicle, Lewis said. 

No one was immediately arrested. AP said quoting Bolt that the sheriff's office was looking for two suspects, but couldn't provide names or descriptions.  

According to Lewis, a "very large crowd" was at the venue for "some type of concert." Lavish Lounge's Facebook page promoted a performance by rapper Foogiano on July 4.
