Three people have been killed and four others injured in a shooting at an after-hours strip club in Detroit, Michigan in the United States, according to police.

Officers responding to the shooting shortly after 7:20am local time (11:20 GMT) on Sunday arrived within four minutes and found three people suffering from fatal gunshot wounds, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison told reporters on Sunday morning.

Another four people – two men and two women in their 20s and 30s – were taken to area hospitals with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

“A fight occurred, an altercation occurred, and as a result individuals decided to settle it with gun violence,” he said.
