Different sources give different estimates on the number of people injured, not dead. Numbers range from 14 to about 18.

"The club said there was "armed security" at the event for children between the ages of 12 and 17, adding there "was nothing more we could have done." Although police did not immediately give information about the identity of the suspects, the club said that "it was not kids at the party that did this despicable act."

Police said that officers responded to the parking lot of Club Blu at around 12:30 a.m. to find multiple people suffering gunshot wounds ranging from minor to life-threatening

Of the 16 people taken to Lee Memorial Hospital, one died after being admitted and two others were in the intensive-care unit as of early Monday.

One other person was confirmed killed in the incident, according to police."

Tragic end to a party. Too many crazy people on the loose. Hate must stop. So sorry for the families and friends of the dead and prayers for the injured, their families and friends.

Yes because every other country who have gun control are now dictatorships were the population have no rights and no power, and gun violance is even worst than in the US where everyone is save because anyone can get a gun even terrorists and even if you would wanted to get gun control in the US you couldnt because its in the constitution and everyone knows its imposible to change the constitution because it was written by Jesus himself.

This is a thread reporting a horrific incident and shouldn't be tainted any further with arguing.
