Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton avoided injury Saturday night after shots rang out at a Charlotte nightclub, according to WS-OCTV.

The signal-caller was on stage at a Young Jeezy concert just before the shots started. Two people were reportedly hurt, but neither of the injuries were expected to be life-threatening. 

Newton appears to be on stage here, wearing a black hat and white jacket.

The Charlotte Observer reported that Newton hosted a football banquet the next day in Atlanta. 

He was involved in another off-field incident back in December, suffering two small back fractures after a car accident
