Gunfire erupted at the close of a party hosted by Jermaine Dupri and attended by Usher, Diddy and others, at Club Dream in Atlanta on Friday night.

When a gunman opened fire in the club in the early morning hours of Saturday, the panicked crowd went running for the exits.

The party was to kick off Dupri’s So So Def Summerfest and also included actors Larenz Tate and Gabrielle Union, as well as Usher.

“I’m sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party,” Dupri said in a statement released to Access Hollywood. “I’m happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues.”

A security guard who was struck in the arm was the only injury.
