Two robbery suspects died and two security guards were injured in a shooting Saturday morning at a gentlemen's club in Canoga Park.
Authorities responded to multiple calls regarding a shooting just after 4:30 a.m. at Xposed Gentlemen's Club, located on the 8200 block of Canoga Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department Topanga Station.
Two people attempted to rob the club when they got into a gun battle with two security officers, and one of the guards shot and killed them, said Captain Paul Vernon.
The two security guards were taken to the hospital for injuries and were in stable condition, Vernon said.
Police believe the suspects were possible gang members.
The strip club's owner Brad Barnes told NBC4 he won't be losing any sleep over the way things ended.
"I'm actually glad he [the security guard] had a gun," Barnes said. "I'm glad he took care of business."
