Washington: Singer Chris Brown's concert was cut short when gunshots were fired in the middle of his performance, sending the crowd into panic.

The 25-year-old was performing his song “Loyal” on stage at Fiesta Nightclub in San Jose, California Sunday when the incident happened leaving at least five people injured -- all were rushed to hospital, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Brown was not injured and was quickly rushed to safety by his entourage as chaos broke out on the dance floor.

As per reports, no suspects have been named. Police were questioning a number of people to investigate the motive behind the shootings.

However, it's not Brown's first brush with club violence.

In August 2014, an event hosted by him also ended in violence. Gunshots rang out when the singer hosted a pre-VMAs party at 1Oak in Los Angeles, injuring music producer Suge Knight.

He was also involved in a 2013 infamous brawl with Drake over former girlfriend Rihanna.
