New York Giants Victor Cruz Caught In Middle of Nightclub Shooting

Victor Cruz, the breakout wide receiver for the New York Giants, was smack in the middle of a shootout last night at Juliet Supperclub in NYC ... sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ.

Some guy got through the pat-down last night and snuck a gun inside the club. He ended up shooting 2 people, then escaping. He's still on the loose. One of the victims died. The other is in stable condition.

We're told Victor was at the club celebrating his birthday with some pals when the gunfire erupted. He was not involved in the incident, but it was pretty scary.
