In a shooting early on Sunday morning in the US state of Florida’s downtown nightclub, one person was killed and six others were hurt, according to authorities. According to the police, they are looking into a shooting that took place in a downtown Tampa nightclub. “On October 9, just before 3 a.m., police were called about shots being fired close to the LIT Cigar & Martini Lounge at 908 N Franklin St. When police arrived, they discovered a dead adult male victim who seemed to have suffered a gunshot wound “According to a tweet from the Tampa Police Department.
According to the statement, “six other gunshot victims, four adult males and two adult females, were transferred to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries.”
A verbal altercation between two sizable parties allegedly took place inside the lounge, according to the police’s initial investigation.
The parties were led outside, where the argument intensified after one of the suspects rushed to a car to get a revolver and fired several bullets.
To find leads in the case, detectives are now consulting witnesses. Police reported that no arrests have yet been made.
“This is violently pointless. There’s no reason why a brawl at a bar should result in a fatality, “Mary O’Connor, the police chief, said. “We are making a concerted effort to follow up on leads and identify those at fault.”
Anyone with information that could help identify and apprehend the relevant suspect or suspects is urged to get in touch with the Tampa Police Department.
“Through the TampaPD app, tips can be submitted via TIP411. Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay can be contacted by anyone who desire to remain anonymous “Police were added.
