| Police said 17 people were hurt after a shooting early on Saturday triggered after a dispute – and not an active shooter or a terror-related act – at a nightclub in downtown Little Rock. | |
| The shooting happened early on Saturday at the Power Ultra Lounge, a club in a two-story building about a mile east of the state capitol. Police cordoned off the block as crime-scene technicians continued to investigate. | |
| Police said on Twitter that all 17 victims were alive and that one person who had been in critical condition was upgraded to stable. Little Rock police chief Kenton Buckner told reporters that the shooting apparently happened when “some sort of dispute broke out between people inside”. | |
| The shooting followed a week of multiple drive-by shootings in the capital city, though there was no indication the events were linked. | |
| Early on Saturday, Rada Bunch waited outside the club. She had heard from a friend that her son had been at the club and may have been shot. She had received little information about the incident, she said. | |
| “I’m sick of all the killing and I’m tired of all the shooting, the kids getting hurt,” Bunch said. | |
| The club’s Facebook page said Friday’s night show featured the artist Finese 2Tymes: a promotional poster showed a man pointing what appeared to be a gun at the camera. A call to a number listed for Finese 2Tymes’ booking agent was not immediately returned. |
