SEATTLE (AP) — Authorities say at least 20 people were injured in two separate, unrelated shootings that took place within hours of each other in Seattle suburbs over the weekend.

In the first, 13 people were wounded after a fight erupted into gunfire at a lowrider car show late Saturday afternoon in Kent, about 20 miles south of Seattle, sending spectators ducking for cover and merchants hiding in stores.

About 10 hours later, in the neighboring city of Auburn, police say, a jealous husband walked into a casino nightclub with a handgun and opened fire on his estranged wife, her male companion and her two sisters as they danced on the floor.

Authorities say three others were wounded before the suspect was tackled by a casino security guard as he fled the nightclub.

No deaths have been reported in either shooting.
