28 injured in Arkansas nightclub shooting


At least 28 people were injured but none killed in a shooting at a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas, early Saturday morning. "We do NOT believe this incident was an active shooter or terror-related incident. It appears to have been a dispute at a concert," said a tweeted statement from the Little Rock Police Department.
The incident at the Ultra Power Lounge happened around 2:30 a.m. on the club's second floor. Early reports indicate it was a spontaneous exchange of gunfire rather than a single shooter. Victims are being treated at local hospitals, and the police investigation is ongoing.
