Billings police said the early morning shooting outside a Billings bar involved gunfire from at least two people, including a bystander.
Lt. Matt Lennick said in a news release that the shooting in the parking lot of the Reno Club off Calhoun Lane started with an argument.
During the argument, a 46-year-old man "pulled a firearm and began shooting at a 38 year old male and a 42 year old female striking them both," the newsrelease states.
The injured woman pulled a firearm and "attempted to return fire" when a 25-year-old man described as a "bystander" who was not initially involved in the argument "pulled a firearm and fatally shot the 46 year old male."
Lennick said the investigation continues and no arrests have been made at this point.
