(AP) — Clubgoers screamed and scrambled for cover as dozens of gunshots rang out during a rap concert in downtown Little Rock early Saturday, leaving 28 people injured from an 11-second melee that police quickly said was not related to terrorism. “You’ve seen some of the things playing out in our streets that has resulted in drive-by shootings.” The shooting occurred about 2:30 a.m. to the club about 1 mile (1.61 kilometers) east of the state Capitol building. 25 shot, 3 others injured at Little Rock nightclub; no apparent connection to terror

At least 25 people were shot in a nightclub in Little Rock, Arkansas, early Saturday morning and three others suffered unrelated injuries, police said. Police had responded to a dozen drive-by shootings over the previous nine days but haven’t said whether any of the incidents are related. Asa Hutchinson issued a statement noting what he called Little Rock’s growing “crime problem.”

“Little Rock’s crime problem appears to be intensifying. Darryl Rankin, who posted the video, said a friend of his who attended the Finese 2Tymes concert with him had a bullet “stuck in his spine.”

Police were summoned about 2:30 a.m. City police said quickly that the agency did not believe the shooting was part of a terrorist attack and that no active shooter remained at the scene.
Arguments that lead to an exchange of gunfire at a concert at the Power Ultra Lounge in Little Rock, Arkansas, result in at least 28 people injured, one hospitalized in stable condition.
