The club was hosting a “swimsuit glow party,” a local ABC station reported. So far, the motive for the shootings remain unknown. Three people are being held by police for questioning.
A post to the club’s Facebook page that has since been deleted, noted that “no ID was required because it was a middle school/high school event.”
The club released a statement in the last hour reading:
This is a developing story. Updates will be added as new information becomes available.
