Tampa police: 1 dead, 7 injured in shooting at club

Tampa police say a shooting at a strip club has left one person dead and seven others injured.

Lt. Ruth Cate said early Saturday that one person among those shot at Club Rayne had died. She also said that in addition to the injured that police initially knew about, another person arrived at a hospital separately.

Officer William Copulos of the Tampa police said police were on the scene investigating. He said he believed there may have been a disagreement in the club but did not have specifics. No other details were immediately available.

Reached by phone at the club, owner Roberto Mederos declined to comment.

Police said the area of the street where the club was located would be closed to traffic until about 7:30 a.m.
