We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter or terror related incident. It appears to have been a dispute at a concert.

One victim was earlier in a critical condition, but has now been upgraded to ‘stable’.
It’s believed that the suspects fled the scene of the Power Lounge in a Mercedes Benz or Dodge Charger early on Saturday morning.
Terrifying footage from inside the packed-out club showed people dancing to headline act Finese 2 Tymes just moments before several gunshots are fired.
When the gunfire finally ended dozens of people can be heard screaming and seen running for the exits as chaos broke out across the entire venue.
Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this horrific incident.
