Two people are dead and up to 16 injured after a deadly shooting at Club Blu in Fort Myers.
The Fort Myers Police Department responded around 12:30 a.m. Monday to the club at 3580 Evans Ave. after a shooting in the parking lot, according to a news release. Officers found more than a dozen victims suffering from gunshots wounds, their injuries ranging from minor to life threatening.
Those victims were taken to local hospitals, police said in the statements. Other victims were injured but went to hospitals for treatment on their own.
The club was hosting a "swimsuit glow party" for teens Sunday night, a local ABC station reported. At this point, police said, it is unclear what the motives were behind the shooting.
Police responded to two other areas in Fort Myers they believe to be tied to the club shooting. Officers went to the 2500 block of Parkway Street, where a residence and cars were shot at. One person suffered a minor injury. The second location was on Ortiz Avenue, where the person of interest was detained.
Fort Myers police and deputies from the Lee County Sheriff's Office are canvassing the area in search anyone else involved in the shooting.
This shooting comes six weeks after the deadly shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando more than 150 miles away.
The gunman, who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, killed 49 club patrons before being shot by police, June 12 in what is considered the worst mass shooting in recent U.S. history.
