Just a little over a month after the Orlando nightclub massacre, in which 49 people at a guy club were killed by a heavily-armed gunman in an hours-long standoff, another mass shooting occurred in Fort Myers, Florida. Where at least 2 people have been killed and nearly 20 others were injured during a teen party at a Florida nightclub early Monday morning.
CBS Fort Myers affiliate WINK-TV reports the incident at Club Blu in Fort Myers happened around 12:30 a.m. in the parking lot during a “Swimsuit Glow Party” marketed at 12- to 17-year-olds. Three suspects have been detained, but there have been no known motives for the shooting so far. Victims in the mass shooting all range from ages 12-27, officials have said. 16 of the victims were treated at local hospitals and two remain in intensive care according to WINK-TV.
One woman who lives two blocks from Club Blu told WINK that she heard about 30 gunshots from what she believed to be multiple guns. Witnesses described the scene as a “madhouse.”
After the gunfire ended, the scene outside was overwhelming, a witness named Brian Martin told WINK.
“It was a madhouse people were running every where. All people were saying was their friends’ names to see if they’re okay — a lot of phone calls to parents,” Martin said. “But it was one of the scariest sights to just see people come pouring out like that.”
