At least two people were killed and 14 others wounded in a shooting early on Monday at a Florida nightclub, US broadcaster NBC reported.
Police confirmed that the incident occurred at Club Blu in Fort Myers, which US media said was holding a party for teenagers.
A -"person of interest-" has been detained at another location, the station said.
The Fort Myers Police Department reported that while two individuals were fatally shot, -"at least 14-16-" more sustained minor to life-threatening wounds during the episode, which occurred at approximately 12:30 am (local time), according to NBC.

A nearby home and vehicles were also shot at, resulting in one minor injury, CBS news reported.
Police said officers were -"actively canvassing the area looking for other persons who may be involved in this incident,-" according to a statement obtained by NBC.
The shooting comes just six weeks after an attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida that left 49 dead in the worst gun massacre in recent US history.
Police killed the gunman, Omar Mateen, a 29-year-old US citizen of Afghan origin, after a three-hour standoff.
That rampage and other recent shootings have renewed debate about gun laws in the United States.
