Det Supt Pat Twiggs said: "This was clearly a targeted, highly dangerous act which could have easily resulted in fatal consequences and we are determined to bring those responsible to justice.
"Firearms incidents will not be tolerated and I am appealing to anyone who might have any information."
He said he was especially looking for anyone who had seen the vehicle or the occupants, or anyone who may have seen the disturbance outside the nightclub.
