Mass Shooting At Florida Club's Teen Night

Two people have been killed and at least 13 others wounded in a mass shooting at a Florida nightclub.

The shooting took place outside Club Blu in Fort Myers in the early hours of Monday morning, said Lt Jim Mulligan of the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

Three people have been detained by police.

Police have marked where dozens of shots were fired

The incident is thought to have taken place during a 'teen night' at the club, with some of the people at the event as young as 13.

One witness said that she heard around 30 gunshots from the scene and believes they came from a number of weapons.

Syreeta Gary's daughter was at the club when the attack happened.

Speaking on a Twitter video, she said: "Well, I just thank God that my daughter is okay. She could have been shot. She was dodging bullets and dropping between cars.

"It is ridiculous that kids have to go through this and they cannot enjoy themselves because you have people with criminalistic minds who want to terrorise people."

Police have detained three people in connection with the shooting at Club Blu 

At least 20 police officers attended the scene and roads in the area were sealed off. 

The shootings happened at 12.30am local time.

A police statement said: "The Fort Myers Police Department and Lee County Sheriff's Office are actively canvassing the area looking for other persons who may be involved in this incident.

"At this time the scene is still very active as investigators and crime scene personnel attempt to determine what occurred."

Russia Escapes Total Ban On Rio Athletes

Russia has escaped a blanket ban on its athletes competing at the Rio Olympics following allegations of state-sponsored doping.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) set out conditions for Russian competitors at the Games - including a ban on any athlete ever sanctioned for doping.

The IOC said it would be up to the federations of individual sports to decide if they would allow Russians to compete. 

The decision comes after an independent report found damning evidence of state-sponsored doping by Russian athletes at the 2014 Sochi Olympics - prompting the World Anti-Doping Agency to call for a Rio ban.

Russia's track and field athletes were already banned from competing after the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld an earlier decision last week - but competitors in other sports may now be able to take part.

Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko said he was grateful for the IOC decision and claimed that doping was a world problem, not just a Russian one.

He said the criteria Russian athletes would have to meet to compete were tough, but he hoped the team would ultimately have a successful games.

Mr Mutko added he hoped the majority of sports federations will support the right of Russian athletes to compete at the Olympics.

Russian officials and government officers have said the doping allegations are part of a Western conspiracy against their country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had warned that the affair could split the Olympic movement, bringing echoes of the 1980s when the United States led a political boycott of the Moscow Games of 1980 and the Soviet Union led an Eastern Bloc boycott of the Los Angeles Games four years later.

'I Will Kill You All', Munich Gunman Warned

Munich killer David Ali Sonboly warned he would kill his classmates after a row at school, it has been reported. 

The teenager told a 14-year-old girl living in his apartment block, "I will kill you all", after falling out with peers just weeks before the shooting.

David Ali Sonboly was said to be obsessed with mass killings

Police are investigating whether Sonboly, 18, specifically targeted young victims as he rampaged through a McDonald's and the Olympia shopping centre armed with a Glock pistol and 300 rounds of ammunition.

Most of those killed were teenagers.

It was reported four of those who died were young friends sitting at the same table in the fast food restaurant.

They were two 14-year-old Kosovan girls, Armela Segashi and Sabina Sulaj, and their Turkish friends Can Leyla, 14 and Selcuk Kilic, 15.

Another victim named as 17-year-old Hussein Daitzik, of Greek origin, is reported to have been shot dead as he shielded his sister.

Guilliano Kollman, 18, is said to have died after being gunned down outside the McDonald's. 

Naim Zabergja, a policeman of Kosovan heritage, visited the scene of the shooting clutching a picture of his 21-year-old son Dijamant, who was killed in the rampage.

Sevda Dag, a 45-year-old Turkish woman, was reportedly the oldest victim of the atrocity.

Meanwhile, Fadil Segashi, the uncle of Armela, said she was "an example to others".

He added: "She was only 14-years-old and she was a very good girl."

Authorities are checking reports that Sonboly felt bullied by his peers for several years, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said.

Police said it appeared the teen hacked into a Facebook account and lured people to McDonald's with an offer of free food.

The posting had been sent from a young woman's account.

It urged people to arrive at the centre at 4pm, saying: "I'll give you something if you want, but not too expensive."

Apparently, one acquaintance of the teenage loner had warned young people to stay clear.

"This here is a fake account of one Ali Sonboly. Don't get your hopes up," wrote Lukas Dore.

He added: "The boy is psychologically disturbed and only wants attention."

It has also been reported Sonboly swapped his WhatsApp profile picture to that of mass murderer Anders Breivik.

Far-right extremist Breivik killed 77 people in Norway exactly five years before the Munich shootings.

Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said: "The fifth anniversary of the Breivik massacre ought to be considered as a motivation." 

A search of the teenager's room has revealed he was obsessed with mass killings.

Police ruled out links with Islamic State.  

During the search, investigators found a book about mass shootings by students.
