Around 2:00 a.m. Friday, Virginia Beach police were called to Guadalajara in Town Center after gunshots were fired just outside the restaurant.

A fight broke out when a crowd of people attending Michael Vick's 30th birthday party, dubbed “Vick’s All White 30th Birthday Bash,” spilled onto the street. Several gunshots were fired and one of Vick’s co-defendants in the federal dog fighting case, Quanis Phillips, was taken to Virginia Beach General Hospital with a gunshot wound in his leg.

It is unclear whether or not Vick was present at the time of the shooting.

Vick is still on federal probation and on a three-year suspended sentence for a state dog fighting conviction. As a condition of his release, he is not allowed to associate with known felons, that would certainly include Quanis Phillips.

Phillips, along with Vick took part not only in the dog fights at Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels but routinely killed dogs by methods including electrocution, hanging, drowning, and in at least one case by “slamming” the dog’s body onto the concrete floor. In one session in April 2007, at least eight dogs were killed through these methods.

Vick’s lawyer, Larry Woodward, claims that Vick was not involved in the shooting.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league has opened an investigation into the shooting.
