JACKSON, Tenn. – Police said one person was killed and 20 others were injured early Sunday in a shooting at a Tennessee nightclub.
An apparent dispute between several people at the Karma Lounge in Jackson led to at least three people opening fire, according to a press release from the Jackson Police Department.
The club was hosting an after-party for a basketball game between Lane College and Lemoyne-Owen College. Police and paramedics responded to the shooting at 2:03am.
Lecarlos Todd, a 19-year-old Memphis resident, was killed by gunfire, police said.
Eighteen other people were taken to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital with gunshot wounds, and two women, aged 17 and 20, were hospitalized for injuries they sustained when they were trampled by clubgoers running from the shooters.
Two of the victims were admitted to the hospital in stable condition and a 30-year-old named as Travis Steed was airlifted to another hospital in unknown condition. The other victims were treated and released.
