One person died and 10 were injured early Sunday after two shootings at and near a Memphis nightclub, police said.
No suspect has been arrested in the shootings that police say appear to be connected.
Five people were taken to local hospitals in critical condition and another five arrived in “non-critical” condition by private vehicles, the Memphis Police Department said.
Police arrived at the Live Lounge nightclub before 1 a.m. and found two victims. While at the nightclub, they learned about shooting victims at a nearby location where they found one person dead and three others who were badly injured.
Police did not know the motive or whether there was more than one shooter at the two locations. Police said they are looking for three people of interest.
The shootings occurred in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, about 10 miles south of downtown and near the Memphis International Airport. Both shootings took place along a commercial corridor of restaurants, grocery stores, churches and medical offices surrounded by residential streets.
