At least two people were killed and 14 to 16 others wounded in a shooting incident at a club hosting a teen party early Monday in Fort Myers, Florida, local media reported.

The shooting took place at a parking lot of Club Blu just after 00:30 a.m. local time (0430 GMT) on Monday morning.

Eyewitnesses said that up to 30 gunshots were heard. At least two people were fatally shot, and over a dozen were suffering minor to life-threatening wounds.

The Fort Myers Police Department reported that police officers were canvassing the area, and three people were detained for questioning.

The shooting came six weeks after the deadly shooting at a nightclub in Florida's Orlando city, where a gunman killed 49 people, making it the deadliest shooting massacre in U.S. history.
