Police said three people left the club and stopped at a Speedway market on Murfreesboro Pike where officers met them.

A 31-year-old had a wound to his knee, a 30-year-old woman had a wound to her thigh and another 30-year-old woman had a graze wound to her shin that did not require treatment, police said.
