The shooting occurred around 12-30 am in the parking lot of Club Blu Bar and Grill in Fort Myers, Florida. Three suspects have been detained, the police said.

According to local WinkNews, witnesses described the moments outside the club as a “mad house”. One woman who lives two blocks from Club Blu said she heard multiple gunshots. People were crying and screaming, she wrote on her Facebook Page, adding that many were being carried in ambulances to area hospitals. The injured were reported to have minor to life-threatening wounds. (Inputs: PTI)
