One person died and 10 were injured early Sunday in a shooting at a Memphis, Tennessee, nightclub, police said.
No suspect had been arrested as of Sunday afternoon.
Five people were taken to local hospitals in critical condition, the Memphis Police Department said. Five others with less serious injuries went to area hospitals in private vehicles and were released later Sunday.
Victims were found at two locations, police said. Officers arrived at the Live Lounge nightclub before 1 a.m. and found two victims. While at the nightclub, they learned about shooting victims at a nearby location where they found one person dead and three others who were badly injured.
The motive remained unclear and police said they did not know whether there was more than one shooter. Three people of interest were being sought, authorities said, and one of them may have been injured and in need of medical attention.
The shooting occurred in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, about 10 miles south of downtown and near the Memphis International Airport. The gunfire erupted in an area near restaurants, grocery stores, churches and medical offices surrounded by residential streets.
