MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Eight people were injured after a gunman opened fire during an argument late Monday night at an Orange Mound motorcycle club, police said.
In all, it appeared at least seven people were shot, according to a report by the Memphis Police Department. An eighth person was described as a “victim” but the report did not explicitly mention injuries.
MPD said officers responded around 11:30 p.m. to a shooting at the Black Raiders Motorcycle Club on Carnes Avenue between Spottswood and Douglass avenues.
Police said officers arrived to find four men had been injured in the shooting. Investigators said two men were arguing before one of them pulled out a gun and opened fire, MPD said.
MPD said that “a short time later,” four more people — two men and two women — believed to have been connected to the shooting arrived at area hospitals. All were in non-critical condition, police said.
The seven victims who were treated at hospitals have been released, police said.
In a report, MPD said the two women and one man were shot in the leg, while one man was shot in the head and two other men were shot in the neck and arm, respectively. Another man was grazed in the face by a bullet and refused treatment on scene, police said.
A sixth man was taken to a hospital by private vehicle but the MPD report did not say what his injuries were.
Police said they were working on identifying suspects. Anyone with information about the mass shooting is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 901-528-CASH.
