TAMPA - An argument over a woman led to a shooting outside a Waffle House restaurant that sent two men to a hospital this morning, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

Homicide detectives are looking for a suspect. The names of the victims were not released.

The shooting stemmed from an earlier argument at an Ybor City night club, the sheriff's office said.

Some of those involved in the argument gathered in the parking lot of the Waffle House, 2525 54th Ave. N. near Interstate 275 in Lealman. The argument reignited there, about 3:40 a.m.

A 20-year-old man was hit twice in the abdomen and a 25-year-old man was struck three times in the arm, the sheriff's office said.

Both were taken to Bayfront Medical Center by private vehicle. The 20-year-old's injuries were life threatening, the sheriff's office said.
