BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - The Baton Rouge Police Department is investigating a mass shooting that left 12 people injured on the morning of Sunday, Jan. 22.
According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, the shooting happened inside The Dior Bar and Lounge, which is located on Bennington Avenue off College Drive around 1:30 a.m.
Police said officers were standing outside of the club when the shooting began and immediately rushed in to respond to the threat.
Officials said at least five of the victims were taken to hospitals by emergency crews. Meanwhile, officials added that several of the victims went to hospitals in personal vehicles.
Nine of the victims have injuries that are not considered life-threatening, according to detectives with the Baton Rouge Police Department. They added that three of the victims have injuries that are life-threatening in nature.
Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center received six of the wounded. As of 2:30 p.m. Sunday, the hospital reported three of the wounded were in critical condition, two were listed in good condition, and one had been released.
A source familiar with the case tells WAFB there is surveillance video from inside the nightclub that shows the incident unfolding. Detectives are analyzing that video as they try to determine exactly what happened.
“At this point, we can say it is believed to be a targeted attack, said Lt. Bryan Ballard, commander of the BRPD Homicide Division. “And that this was not just a random act of someone showing up and randomly shooting citizens in Baton Rouge.”
Officers have been able to determine the type of firearm used but cannot yet release that information, according to BPRD.
Investigators said they believe there was a single shooter and are “working leads” to identify the gunman. They added one of the people shot was the DJ.
BRPD Chief Murphy Paul said officers have also not yet been able to determine how many people were inside the club when the shooting took place.
Officials with the Baton Rouge Police Department said the owners of the nightclub are cooperating with investigators.
Chief Paul is urging witnesses and people in the inner circle of those responsible to come forward. Anyone who may know something that can help investigators is being urged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling the number (225) 344-7867.

That place looks like the 7th circle of hell. And that's just the parking lot.

I just want to know how you can open fire in a club and not kill a single person... you hit 12 people and couldn't even kill someone by accident?

Is it my imagination or did they say there were 3 BRPD officers in the parking lot when the shooting happened who didn’t engage the shooter or capture them? Why are they still employed.

Reports were that the officers rushed in and the place was too crowded to determine what was going on. They secured the place and rendered emergency aid.

That's turning into a big stink right now. They were on a BRPD Approved, off-duty event paid detail. These are paid by the private party. I haven't seen anything official as to if they entered the building or not.

No. High crime area. There have been severalbshootings at that nearby gas station as well.

In general, the area has a strip club, several bars, and is within spitting distance of a number of gas stations and other areas which have been overrun by panhandlers.
I’m not even going into the hotels, which aren’t as infamous as the ones at Airline and 12, but likely have a similar clientele.

This is the kind of thing that happens at a club named after a designer fashion brand in a shithole part of town

Reminiscent of when the Diaz Brothers shot up the Babylon Club

I don’t have instagram which is why I was asking what the normal crowd was there. College?

Well if that is true it is very safe to say the criminals are not at all afraid of BRPD.
