At least one person is dead and 10 others were wounded in what authorities say was a mass shooting overnight spanning two scenes in Tennessee, WREG-TV reports.
Five of the injured were in critical condition as of Sunday morning.
At 12:43 a.m. Sunday, officers were dispatched to the Live Lounge club, 1482 East Shelby Drive in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, where they found two shooting victims. Those victims were rushed to Regional One Hospital and are in critical condition, the Memphis Police Department said.
Investigators determined that five more shooting victims had fled the scene and used private vehicles to get to area hospitals, where the victims were in “non-critical condition,” according to Fox News.

Police subsequently received information about more shooting victims at a nearby address by Shelby Drive and Boeingshire Drive, where a male victim was found and pronounced dead, CNN reports.
Three more victims were later rushed to Regional One Hospital in critical condition.
Early Sunday, authorities were still working to develop concrete information about the suspect or suspects, according to a Twitter post by the Memphis Police Department. It is not clear whether the victims were specifically targeted or were known to the perpetrator, nor is it known what happened leading up to the gunfire.
