Law enforcement: 2 dead, as many as 17 shot at Fort Myers nightclub

FORT MYERS, Fla. – Two people are dead, according to the Fort Myers Police Department, and as many as 17 people were shot, according to Lt. Jim Mulligan of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, at a local nightclub, Club Blu located at 3580 Evans Avenue, early Monday morning.

There are two active scenes — one located on Ortiz Avenue between Luckett and Ballard roads — as authorities search for suspects and persons of interest.

The shooting happened around 12:30 a.m. One attendee said the gunshots rang out outside, as she hid under a table inside the nightclub, which was hosting a teen party.

“Everyone tried to run and duck for cover. I’m sorry I’m so shaken up,” she wrote via Facebook.
