Three dead, two injured in Kansas City shooting

Three people were fatally shot and two others injured when gunfire broke out at a Kansas City nightclub early Sunday.

Police in the Missouri city arrived at the Klymax Lounge at 1:25 a.m., just before closing time, to find the five victims in and outside the club.

Two were reported dead at the scene, with a third victim dying at the hospital. One of the survivors was listed in critical condition, while the other was stable, police said.

It remains unclear if police have a suspect or a motive for the deadly shooting.

The violence came less than an hour after four people were shot during a wild gunfight outside the Tin Roof bar in Birmingham, Ala.

An off-duty cop was working at the bar when someone rushed in to report the shooting. Police found three men and a woman injured by gunfire, according to AL.com.
