Florida shooting: Eyewitnesses speak of horror after Fort Myers 'teen night' club attack | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Eye witnesses have spoken of their horror following a shooting at a nightclub in Florida. | |
At least two people have died and 17 people have been injured in the shooting in Fort Myers. One of the victims is understood to be 13 years old. | |
It is understood the attack took place during a 'teen night' at the club, prompting concerns many of the victims may be young people. | |
Eyewitnes Tatianna Nouhaioi told ABC News: "It was a young teen event. There were kids. The kid I was holding in my lap, he was 14-years-old that got shot. | |
"And then there was a little girl who also got shot and she was 13. One of the security guard's daughters got shot and she was 13." | |
Syreeta Gary, whose daughter was at the club, told Fox 4 News her daughter was: "dodging bullets and running dropping between cars. It's ridiculous that these kids have you other people there who have criminalistic minds- they just want to terrorise things. | |
"I just thank God that my daughter is OK because she could have been shot." | |
Three people are in police custody in relation to the incident. |
