The stampede occurred in the “mass exodus” of people fleeing the club.
Seven people were shot and two others were injured after a shooting inside a nightclub in Wichita, Kansas, early Sunday morning.
Officers were outside a nightclub located at 222 North Washington Street in Wichita when they heard screams and shots fired from inside the building at 12:58 p.m., according to Lt. Aaron Moses, police department executive officer from Wichita.
Shots were fired inside the club, Moses said, where most of the injuries occurred. Seven people were shot and two others were trampled in the “mass exodus” of people fleeing the club, he said.
One of the injured is in critical condition, Moses said, while all other victims are being treated at local hospitals. The ages of the victims range from 21 to 34.
One person has been detained for questioning at this time, Moisès said. Local agencies are also investigating previous incidents at this nightclub.
