Orlando police said officers responded to the area and came upon a large crowd near GILT, which is located at 740 Bennett Road.

A resident who lives near the shooting said she called police after hearing 30-50 gunshots.

Officers worked to get the nightclub crowd under control, police said.

One of the men injured was driven to Orlando Regional Medical Center and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Two other gunshot wound victims were located at AdventHealth South.
