Three injured after shootings in South Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Two shootings happened back to back early Monday morning, leaving three people injured in South Memphis, police say.

The owner of the venue told Memphis Police that the shooting started after the owner told three men from a group called Outcast Motorcycle Club that they could not enter the venue with certain colors on.

The owner says after four more men arrived, yelling started, and moments later, shots rang out.

He was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but police say he is now in non-critical condition.
