WICHITA, Kan. — (WICHITA, Kan.) -- Seven people were shot and two others were trampled when a gunfight involving multiple patrons erupted early Sunday inside a Wichita, Kansas, nightclub, sparking a chaotic stampede for the exit door, according to police.
At least four guns were fired during the wild shootout that erupted at 12:58 a.m. inside the City Nightz nightclub in the Old Town section of Wichita, Lt. Aaron Moses, executive officer of the Wichita Police Department, said at a news conference on Sunday.
The shooting came despite an increased police presence in the Old Town area due to previous problems, including a shooting in May that killed a 19-year-old woman, officials said. He said the two people who suffered traumatic injuries, a 30-year-old woman and a 31-year-old man, were trampled in the mass scramble to escape the gunfire.At least four guns were seized from inside the nightclub and police were analyzing them to determine if any of them were used in the shooting, Moses said.Five of the victims were taken to hospitals by ambulance, while the others showed up at emergency rooms on their own.
"There's going to be an extensive investigation to find out how firearms got into this club and who's responsible for bringing them in there," Sullivan said.
