Three off-duty
Orlando police officers were working as security in the Glitz
Ultra Lounge in the city's tourist district, and none of them
discharged their weapons, Orlando police said, adding that the
club also had its own security guards.
One of those shot died on the scene and the other died at a
hospital, police said.
"All of the shots that were fired last night were fired inside
the club," department spokeswoman Michelle Guido told reporters.
Eight of the injured had gunshot wounds and one of them was in
critical condition at a hospital. The others had injuries that
were not life-threatening, Guido told a news conference.
"There may be other people that were injured in the club when
people were trying to get out," she said.
No motive was given for the shooting and the names of the dead
or injured were not immediately released.
