Three people have been killed and 14 shot following a mass shooting outside a club in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Last night (6 June) was the second shooting in the city in the last seven days as two people were killed by gunshot wound and a third died from being hit by a car, as reported by ABC.

Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy says that the shooting was an unrelated incident and 'multiple shooters' may have been involved.

She said that some of the other victims were also hit by vehicles who were trying to flee the scene.

"Several victims remain in critical condition," Murphy said.

The Police Chief has also urged for anyone with relevant information to come forward.

"Regardless of how small and insignificant you may think that it is … please reach out to us," she added.

"We’re trying to determine exactly what happened and what led up to this taking place."

On Saturday 28 May, six teenagers were shot and wounded after multiple gunmen opened fire in downtown Chattanooga during a confrontation between two large groups of young people.

"The officers observed multiple parties fire and then they observed multiple victims who had been hit by the gunfire," Murphy said.

Two of the victims were 15-year-old girls, while three 15-year-old boys and one 13-year-old boy were also shot.

The officer claims that investigators are using CCTV footage to try and identify the suspects.

"They've been able to determine two groups were beginning to converge on one another in what appears to have been some type of altercation," Murphy added.

"At this time it does not seem to be any connection to anything gang-related. That's not been officially ruled out, but there's nothing indicating that at this time."

With the controversy surrounding gun ownership in the US, Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly, who is described himself as an 'avid hunter' and gun owner said: "We're fortunate that they were able to respond as quickly as they did.

"But the job of preventing kids from shooting each other cannot fall to the brave men and women of our police department."

He added: "That doesn’t mean taking guns away from responsible gun owners, but it does mean mandatory background checks and prohibiting high-capacity magazines that allow shooters to hurt dozens of people without even having to reload."
