One person was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries and and another person went to the hospital themselves with minor injuries, according to police.

"It should've never happened," the club's owner told NBC10 Boston, after speaking with detectives. "I care about my patrons."

A witness saw Feliz be arrested down the block from the club: "Someone was running towards our way … saying, 'Drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun!"

Police said one gun was found on Feliz and another was found on the ground — that person was still at large as of Monday afternoon.

It wasn't immediately clear if Feliz had a lawyer who could speak to his arrest.
