(Radio Iowa) - Authorities are searching for suspects after two men from Omaha were shot and killed in the parking lot of a race track in southwest Iowa this weekend.

According to the Iowa Department of Public Safety, a concert was about to begin at the I-29 Raceway in Pacific Junction when the shooting happened. Late Saturday night, KMA Radio reported authorities were searching for at least three suspects in a black Mercedes sedan on and near the property.

The facility has a drag racing strip and a more than two-mile long road racing course. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the shootings to call the Mills County Sheriff's Office.
