Highland Park gang shooting two men dead and a third critically wounded early this morning as they left Club Bleu on Woodward .

Two men were killed and a third critically wounded early this morning as they left a popular downtown Detroit nightclub.The three men were leaving Club Bleu on Woodward at John R shortly after 2 a.m. today when they flashed hand signals associated with a metro Detroit gang and exchanged words with three men in a black Dodge Charger.
A passenger in the front seat of the car threw a liquor bottle at the group, striking one of the men in the head and the rear seat passenger in the car pulled out a gun and shot all three men.Two of the men — ages 19 and 21 — were shot in the chest and died. The third, an 18-year-old who also was the man hit in the head with the bottle, was shot in the shoulder and was listed in critical condition at a Detroit hospital.Police are investigating whether gang rivalries caused a shooting this morning outside a downtown nightclub that killed two men and critically injured a third. The 2:13 a.m. incident near the Bleu Room Experience -- commonly called Club Bleu -- began after one of the victims stood outside making gang signs with his hands, said Detroit Police Second Deputy Chief James Tate said.
A black Dodge Charger with three men inside pulled up and a front passenger lobbed a liquor bottle, striking an 18-year-old man in the face. A passenger in back fired shots into a crowd and killed two men, ages 19 and 21. They were both shot in the chest at least once, Tate said. The man who was struck in the face with the bottle also was struck in the right shoulder by at least one bullet. He was listed in critical condition at a hospital, Tate said. About 40 people were outside the club at the time, according to broadcast media reports. Police did not release the names of the victims. He did not know if the victims were friends or just happened to be standing next to each other.
The gang signs were ones known to be used by a Highland Park gang, Tate said. Investigators still are probing the attack and had made no arrests, he said.
