Kittens strip club drive-by shooting: security guard shot

A security guard has been shot in a drive-by shooting at a South Melbourne strip club.

Two masked men drove past Kittens on Cecil Street and unloaded at least two rounds of gunfire about 2.10am.

A security guard, who was standing outside the club at the time, was shot in an arm.

He’s in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The front window and foyer of Kitten were also hit by shotgun pellets.

The gunmen’s stolen car, a Holden Calais, was later found burnt out on the corner of Boundary and Munro streets.
