One person was killed and 10 others were injured in two shootings at different clubs in Texas.
At around 1:30 am on Saturday, Dallas police received a call about a shootout inside the Pryme Night Club. Six people were found shot, according to a police press release.
The victims were taken to local hospitals where one, a woman, was pronounced dead. His name has not been released. The others are considered stable or critical.
Police said they believed the shooting was the result of a “disturbance” between two groups of people at the nightclub.
“A member of one of the groups produced a firearm and started shooting inside the club, resulting in six injuries,” officials said.
The suspect fled the scene “in an unknown direction,” police said.
Shortly after the Dallas incident, police in Houston said police officers responded to a shooting at a club on the North Freeway.
The police department said in a tweet just before 4:15 am, that five people were injured after a “disturbance” at the nightclub. The victims were all hospitalized.
Houston police did not immediately return a call on Saturday.
According to NBC affiliate KPRC-TV in Houston, a man was wounded by a firearm in the neck and is in critical condition. The other victims, including a man shot in the leg, are stable.
Preliminary information suggests that there was an argument within the club and a suspect with a pistol started shooting, the agency said.
