Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A brawl between motorcycle club members at a western Nevada casino devolved into a gunfight that left one person dead and two wounded , police said Saturday . Around 11:25 p.m. Friday , a fight broke out among members of the Hell 's Angels and Vagos clubs in front of the Trader Dick 's bar inside John Ascuaga 's Nugget , a family-owned casino in Sparks , that city 's deputy police chief Brian Allen told reporters . Police in Sparks , which is just east of Reno , responded with assistance from overhead helicopters after hearing several people involved in the brawl had guns and that shots were fired . Authorities earlier reported that as many as 30 people total took part in the altercation . They came upon what Sparks police Lt. Pete Krall described earlier Saturday as a `` very chaotic scene . '' That included `` multiple gunshot victims '' who were transported to area hospitals , according to Allen . One Hell 's Angels member died from his wounds , while two associated with Vagos suffered what the deputy chief described as `` non-life-threatening '' injuries . No bystanders or casino employees were wounded in the incident , he added . The incident , as well a `` subsequent drive-by shooting '' elsewhere in the city , prompted the declaration of a `` state of emergency '' in Sparks , the city announced late Saturday afternoon on its website . `` Whenever you have people who enter our city with bad intentions , bad things are going to happen , '' Sparks Mayor Geno Martini said during a press conference Saturday . `` That 's what happened here last night . '' Sparks police have arrested `` one Hell 's Angels member for his involvement in the fight and subsequent shooting , '' Allen said . `` Other law enforcement agencies made additional arrests on the outskirts of the incident , and we are coordinating to determine their ... involvement in the case . '' Renown Medical Center , located in Reno , announced on its website at 1:45 p.m. Saturday that it had `` applied extra security measures and locked all exterior access to the hospital , except for ( one ) emergency room entrance '' because of the shooting . By 3 p.m. , the hospital said it would be `` easing precautionary security measures for various entrances/exits , '' though there would be `` limited access '' for certain areas . The incident erupted in the midst of the Street Vibrations Fall Rally , an event that began Wednesday and is set to continue into Sunday in Reno . Allen said that since the 18th annual event recently expanded into Sparks , there have been no incidents such as the one Friday night . He did state that , after the shooting , Reno , Sparks and Washoe County authorities are `` increasing personnel at the event . '' The event 's activities in Sparks were canceled through the weekend because of the shooting , the city announced Saturday afternoon . Still , hours earlier , its mayor said the incident -- while worrisome -- should n't cast a negative light on all motorcycle club members . `` I hope the people out there wo n't judge the motorcycle community by the incident that happened last night , '' said Martini . `` I do n't think it 's a true picture .
