Eleven people were shot and one is dead following two shootings in the Whitehaven neighborhood of Memphis, Tennessee, in the early hours of Sunday morning.

At around quarter to 1am, officers were called to a shooting at the Live Lounge, on the outskirts of Memphis, where two shooting victims were immediately transported to the local Regional One Hospital in critical condition.

Five additional shooting victims departed the scene and arrived by private vehicle to the hospital in non-life-threatening condition. They have all since been released

While at the scene, officers received information that a second shooting had occurred and victims were at Shelby Drive & Boeingshire Drive, one mile down the road from the nightclub.

One male victim at the second scene was pronounced dead, and an additional three victims were transported in critical condition to the hospital.

There are believed to be 11 victims total between the two scenes, which police say are connected.
