"It should've never happened," Macumba Latina's owner told NBC10 Boston, after speaking with Boston police detectives

A man opened fire inside a club in Mattapan early Monday morning, Boston police said, injuring two people before being caught running away.

Surveillance video captured the moments the crowd inside Macumba Latina scattered about 12:30 a.m. Regan Feliz, a 29-year-old from Jamaica Plain, was arrested on gun charges, police said.

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.
