RIALTO, Calif.—A teenager was shot to death outside the El Patio Nightclub and the gunman who opened fire was killed by a security guard, investigators said.
A third man was critically wounded in the initial shooting early Sunday.
Sgt. Tim Lane said the gunman, whose name was withheld, began shooting randomly into a crowd of about 50 or more people outside the club. Adrian Alvarado, 17, was killed and Eduardo Marin, 25, was wounded.
An armed security guard then confronted the gunman and shots were exchanged, killing the gunman, investigators said. The security guard wasn't hurt.
In April, a 20-year-old Rialto woman was shot in the head and killed after an argument outside the Foothill Boulevard club. Jose Vizcarra, 22, of Ontario was arrested for the killing.
"We will be seeking cooperation from the owner and management to prevent this type of problem from happening in the future," Lane said.
