Another strike in Florida: 2 died and 17 more injured

Another shooting broke out at a Florida night Club Blu in Fort Myers, Florida around 12.30 AM. Two people were killed and 17 more were severely injured. The victims have not yet been identified. County Sheriff’s Office informed that there was no confirmation on the number of victims. The local media reported that there could be several deaths in the shooting.

A witness spoke to a television channel based in Fort Myers, that were reports of gunshots and people poured out of the nightclub. One woman who lives two blocks from Club Blu said that she heard nearly 30 gunshots from what she believed to have been multiple guns.

The club hosted a party for teenagers and the reports suggested that those present at the venue could be of 13 years age. A large number of police personnel were present at the scene and it is not known if the gunman had been arrested. When police officials arrived at the scene, several victims suffering from gunshots were found in the parking lot.

This one is the second mass shooting in Florida. In June, a gunman killed 49 people at a gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando in the worst mass shooting in modern US history. The attacker called 911 in the middle of that massacre and pledged connections to ISIS.

Two gunmen were believed to have been involved in the attack. A suspect has been detained and another one is on the run.Police reported that another two other scenes including a home and a vehicle were connected to the shooting.
