Two people have been killed and up
to 16 more injured in a shooting at a nightclub in the Florida city of
Fort Myers, police say. The attack happened around 00:30 (04:30 GMT) on
Monday at Club Blu, which was reportedly hosting a party for teenagers.
Three people have been arrested. A police statement said injuries "ranged from minor to life-threatening" and that a number of people were in hospital. Local broadcaster WINK says that witnesses at the scene described the club as a "mad house".
Syreeta Gary, whose daughter was at the club, told the local Fox 4 news channel: "I just thank God that my daughter is OK because she could have been shot," adding that, at one point, her daughter was "dodging bullets and running dropping between cars".
"It's ridiculous that these kids have to go through this, they can't enjoy themselves because you have other people there who have criminalistic minds - they just want to terrorise things. I'm just glad she's OK." Shots were also fired at a home and a vehicle, where one person suffered a minor injury.
Officers are trying to determine the motive of the shooting.
Six weeks ago, a gunman attacked a gay nightclub in the Florida city of Orlando, killing 49 people. It was the worst mass shooting in US history.
