MIAMI (AP) -- One person is dead and three others are hospitalized after a shooting outside a nightclub.

In a statement, Detective Rene Pimentel said Miami police found four victims with gunshot wounds just outside El Romance Restaurant and Nightclub around 6:15 a.m. Saturday.

Pimentel said one victim died at the scene, one was hospitalized in critical condition and two others were in stable condition.

Pimentel said one victim was a woman, but no other information was released.

According to the police statement, investigators believe the victims were shot in an exchange of gunfire and not by a single gunman.

The Miami Herald reports (http://hrld.us/2cu5qkY ) it's not the club's first violent event. In 2014, two people were stabbed and one person was shot by a Miami-Dade County police officer.
