BOSTON -- Two police officers suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds after a man opened fire in the Foxy Lady strip nightclub in New Bedford, then apparently fatally shot himself.
NewsCenter 5's Gail Huff reported that the shooting took place after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Route 6 club. Several other people were wounded as well.
The gunman walked into the club in full body armor as it was closing and opened fire. The two officers who were working details at the club responded and were wounded. Other police surrounded the club and before 6 a.m. they stormed the building. They reportedly found three people dead, one of them the gunman.

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/12/clu....ap/index.html NEW BEDFORD, Massachusetts (AP) -- Three people were fatally shot and several people injured, including two police officers, in a shooting at a strip club early Tuesday morning, authorities said.
A gunman wearing body armor entered the Foxy Lady at about 2:30 a.m. and opened fire before killing himself, New Bedford police told WSAR radio.
"At this time, we have three confirmed dead -- one on the outside on the sidewalk, one in front of the building, and we believe the shooter inside the building is confirmed dead," Capt. Richard Spirlet said. "We also have two officers that have been shot. Their injuries do not appear to be life threatening. We also have several patients who have sustained gunshot wounds as well."
Spirlet said that the gunman was armed with a "high-powered rifle" and "semi-automatic weapon," and that he held some people hostage.
The police officers were providing a security detail at the club, police said.
