Early this morning (July 25), two people were killed and at least 16 were injured at a teen party being held at a Fort Myers, FL nightclub, per authorities.
Reports the New York Times:
Police officers were called to the nightclub, Club Blu, on Evans Avenue about three miles south of City Hall, around 12:30 a.m. Monday. They arrived to find “several victims suffering from gunshot wounds” in the club’s parking lot, Capt. Jim Mulligan of the city’s Police Department said in a statement.
At “this time, the scene is still very active as investigators and crime scene personnel attempt to determine what had occurred,” Captain Mulligan said. “The Police Department is attempting to determine a motive for this incident.”
The authorities were searching two other sites in the city — one on Parkway Street, where a home and several vehicles were shot at, with one person injured, and another on Ortiz Avenue, where three people were detained for questioning.
The victims range in age from 12 to 27.
The teen night at Club Blu was being promoted as a “Swimsuit Glow Party.” Reportedly, the shooting took place after the party.
