A Covington man fired shots into a crowd at a popular nightclub at the Muckleshoot Casino early Sunday morning, seriously injuring two victims and wounding five others, Auburn police reported.

The shooting suspect, a 42-year-old man, was arrested and booked Sunday into the King County Jail for investigation of attempted homicide for shooting his estranged wife, her male dance partner and her sister at Club Galaxy, according to Auburn police. The man’s initial court appearance could be Monday.

Police say the shooting is believed to have stemmed from a domestic violence situation between the suspect and his wife. The suspect entered the club, and after discovering the woman was with another man on the dance floor, shot both of them with a handgun.

“She was in the company of another male. Both were dancing, both were out there on the dance floor,” Auburn police Cmdr. Jamie Sidell told The Associated Press. “He went up there with a purpose, so we have to assume at this point he was looking for the female victim in this case.”

The suspect then fired multiple rounds, which resulted in five additional people sustaining gunshot wounds. As the suspect started to flee the club, a casino security officer tackled the suspect to the floor where he was detained.
