Three people killed at US nightclub shooting
Three people were killed and two more were injured in a shooting at a Missouri nightclub early Sunday, marking one of at least three mass shootings in the United States this weekend.
The killings at the Klymax Lounge in Kansas City, Missouri, and a separate shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, helped bring the number of mass shootings in the United States so far this year to about 230, data from the Gun Violence Archive shows.
Authorities did not immediately publicly release the names of the victims in the Kansas City shooting. However, on social media, friends of one Jason McConnell identified him as one of the victims.
Police in Kansas City responded to the shooting at Klymax Lounge at roughly 1.25am during a performance by the rapper Nutty Still Gassin, according to officials.
Three victims were transported by emergency responders to nearby hospitals, police told. Two victims were pronounced dead at the scene. One victim was found outside the lounge and the second was discovered inside, according to police.
