Two Twin Cities men face felony weapons charges after allegedly firing shots during a parking-lot brawl Thursday at a Burnsville bowling alley and nightclub.

Burnsville police were called at 2:22 a.m. to a fight involving more than 20 people at the 1200 Club/Burnsville Bowl, 1200 Highway 13 E. While officers were en route, someone reported that shots were fired.

Police arrived and dispersed the crowd. Witnesses confirmed that shots were fired from a vehicle in the lot. They gave a description and said the vehicle went north on Interstate 35W into Bloomington. No one was struck by a bullet, and no serious injuries were reported.

Bloomington police then stopped a suspected vehicle and arrested a 28-year-old St. Paul man and a 30-year-old man from Brooklyn Park. They were lodged in the Dakota County jail pending formal charges.
