At least one person is died and seven others were wounded in a shooting at a Tampa strip club, the police confirmed Saturday morning.

Lt. Ruth Cate of the Tampa Police Department said that the shooting took place at Club Rayne, and the 911 call reporting gunshots at the club came in around 2 a.m. local time. She also said that another person who was injured in the shooting arrived at a local hospital separately.

Lt. Cate said detectives were on the scene investigating the gunfire, though Officer William Copulos said there may have been a disagreement in the club. Police officials said all victims were believed to have suffered gunshot wounds, but the extent of all their injuries and current status were not immediately available.

Police have not released any information about a possible suspect in the shooting.

Club owner Roberto Mederos declined to comment on the situation, and Cate said it’s unknown when the club might reopen. Police said the area of the street where the club was located would be closed to traffic until about 7:30 a.m., and it has since reopened
