Five people were wounded in a shooting near a California nightclub where Chris Brown was performing on Saturday.

The incident took place early on Sunday. Brown was on stage at the Fiesta club in San Jose when gun shots were heard. The 25-year-old R&B singer was unharmed and has not commented. Brown was performing the song "Loyal" while gun shots rang out. A video of his reaction is circulating online (watch it above). He was quickly escorted offstage by security.

"Upon arrival, officers located four victims suffering from at least one gunshot wound each," San Jose Police Department Spokesperson Albert Morales told E! News. "The victims were transported to a local area hospital where they are being treated for their injuries. Moments later an additional victim walked into a local area hospital suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound."

People said they are investigating the incident and that several people have been detained. No suspects have been named.

In August 2014, a shooting occurred at another nightclub, in Los Angeles, were Brown was performing at pre-MTV Video Music Awards party he had hosted. The unidentified assailant shot and wounded Suge Knight, former CEO of Death Row Records, and two other people.

"It's disappointing that we as a society can't have fun or enjoy ourselves without any altercations sometimes," Brown tweeted at the time.
