It is not gun violence.
Via Cleveland Com:
Cleveland police are investigating a shooting early Saturday morning near a downtown nightclub that left one woman dead and seven people injured.
Officers were called to Club X-Rated at Lakeside Avenue East and East 33rd Street at about 1:15 a.m., police say.
An altercation inside and outside of the club resulted in eight people being shot, including a 28-year-old woman who was shot in the head.
The woman was taken to MetroHealth, where she died. Her identity has not been released.
The other gunshot victims were also taken to MetroHealth or University Hospitals with injuries ranging serious to critical.
Police have not confirmed if any arrests have been made in connection to the shooting. They are looking at a number of “unknown black males” as potential suspects.
More details will be released as they become available.
This is the summer’s second shooting near Club X-Rated. Two 25-year-old men were shot outside the club in June in an apparent drive-by.
This weekend’s shooting took place during an unofficial after-party for the Z-107.9 Summer Jam concert at the Wolstein Center.
During the event, a fight broke out between attendees and one or multiple people pulled out a gun and opened fire, police say. The fight moved outside and more shots were fired.
“This is a really unfortunate situation,” said Cleveland City Councilman Basheer Jones, whose ward encompasses Club X. “People go out to have a good time and don’t expect for it to be their last night on earth.”
