The disturbed gunman then fired shots in the air, causing the people inside the club, including the 23-year-old singer, to panic at the noise.

A witness, Amanda Williams, told RadarOnline.com, “Everyone was shouting ‘Get down, get down.’ It was really scary. He fired six shots.

“I heard later Liam Payne was there. He’s lucky to be alive, I’m glad nobody was hurt. It’s not a sketchy area and I was really surprised it happened in West Hollywood.”

Meanwhile, Liam and his girlfriend Cheryl are expecting a baby in the near future.
