FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — A shooting at a Florida nightclub early Monday morning killed two people and wounded at least 17, police said. The attack apparently occurred at a teen party, billed as a "Swimsuit Glow Party," at Club Blu in Fort Myers, according to local media.

Police detained three people and said the area around the club had been deemed safe, police Capt. Jim Mulligan said in a statement.

It was not immediately clear what triggered the violence.

Three people remained hospitalized Monday morning, Cherly Garn, a spokeswoman for Lee Memorial Health System, said in an e-mail. All others were treated and released. Two people brought to two other area hospitals were also treated and released, Garn said.

Ages of the patients ranged from 12 to 27, Garn said.

The club is in a strip mall that includes a daycare center and is across the street from a large apartment complex. Officers had the area taped off as crime scene technicians scoured the strip mall parking lot for clues.

The shooting comes more than a month after a nightclub shooting in Orlando that was the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history. The shooting at the Pulse nightclub on June 12 left 49 victims dead and 53 others wounded.

The violence at Club Blu erupted about 12:30 a.m. Monday, Mulligan said. There were two active crime scenes, police said. Several hours later a street in the area remained closed as police investigated.

In a statement, authorities said the Fort Myers police and the Lee County Sheriff's Office were "actively canvassing the area looking for other persons who may be involved in this incident."

The names of the victims were not immediately available.

Syreeta Gary told WFTX-TV her daughter ran and dodged between shots to avoid being shot. Her daughter was OK, but her daughter's friend "got hit in the leg and luckily it's just her leg," she said.

"Her dodging bullets and running, dropping in between cars, it's ridiculous that these kids have to go through this," Gary said. "They can't enjoy themselves because you have other people that have criminalistic minds and they just want to terrorize things."

A post on Club Blu's Facebook page Monday morning said the shooting happened as the club was closing and parents were picking up their children. The post also said there was armed security at the event.

"We are deeply sorry for all involved," the post read. "We tried to give teens what we thought was a safe place to have a good time."

Stephen Curry showed once again that he might be the best 3-point shooter in the history of the NBA Saturday, February 27, in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

When the point guard sank a long range jumper from about 40 feet from the basket with 0.6 seconds left in overtime, he sealed a 121-118 win for the Golden State Warriors.

"What was that, 40 feet?" teammate Draymond Green asked. "That's absurd."

In the process Curry tied the record for the most 3-pointers made in a game with 12. He finished with 46 points.

"Honestly, I don't know exactly where I am, so it's not like I'm calibrating in my head, all right, 38 feet, 37, 36," Curry said after the game via the Associated Press. "Just literally, you've got a sense of — I've shot the shot plenty of times, you're coming across halfcourt and timing up your dribbles, and you want to shoot before the defense goes in. And that was pretty much my only thought."

The 27-year old's shooting process has left fellow players beyond impressed.

If @StephenCurry30's game winning 3-pointer doesn't prove he's the greatest shooter we've ever seen, I don't know what will!

— Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson) February 28, 2016

He also raised the bar for the most shots made from beyond the arc in a season with 288, breaking his own NBA record.

"I never would have thought at this point in the season I would be closing in on 300 and all that kind of stuff," he said. "That doesn't make sense to me. I've always tried to push the envelope and keep getting better, but a lot has to go right to get to this point."

Do you think Curry is the best long range shooter to step onto an NBA court?

MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — A brutal fight between rival factions killed 52 inmates and injured 12 at a prison in northern Mexico on Thursday, the state governor said.

Nuevo Leon Gov. Jaime Rodriguez said there were no reported escapes and the battle, which sent flames billowing into the pre-dawn sky, didn't involve guns.

The country's deadliest prison riot in many years broke out just six days before Pope Francis is scheduled to visit another Mexican prison, in the border city of Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua state.

Rodriguez said at a news conference that the clash involved a faction led by a member of the infamous Zetas drug cartel, Juan Pedro Zaldivar Farias, also known as Z-27.

— FRANCE 24 English (@France24_en) February 11, 2016

The governor said the fight broke out between supports of Zaldivar Farias and Jorge Ivan Hernandez Cantu, who has been identified by local news media as a member of the rival Gulf cartel.

A war between the two cartels bloodied Nuevo Leon state and neighboring Tamaulipas between 2010 and 2012.

Images broadcast by Milenio Television showed flames leaping from the prison as a crowd of people bundled against the cold gathered outside. Some shook and kicked at the gates, demanding to be allowed in. Rescue workers could be seen bringing injured inmates from the facility, at least some with burns.

"They haven't told us anything," said Ernestina, who added that she was the mother of an inmate. She declined to give her full name for fear of reprisals. "They said that until there is order they won't let us in. Everything is in disorder, and nobody is telling us anything."

Rodriguez said the fight broke out around midnight and inmates set fire to a storage area, causing a thick cloud of smoke.

The deadliest earlier prison riot in recent memory also occurred in Nuevo Leon, in February 2012, when members of the Zetas murdered 44 members of the Gulf cartel at the overcrowded Apodaca federal lockup. One month earlier, 31 inmates died in a brawl in Tamaulipas state. That riot involved fighting with makeshift knives, clubs and stones.

Mexico's National Human Rights Commission reported in 2013 that the prison system is plagued by violence and cases of inmate control, symptoms of corruption and lack of resources.

The report, based on visits and interviews at 101 of Mexico's most populated prisons, found that 65 of the facilities were run by inmates, not authorities.

(Reuters) - An accused New York City gang member was sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for a slew of violent crimes, including three murders, after being convicted in a trial in which prosecutors used his graphic rap lyrics against him.

Ronald "Ra Diggs" Herron, 33, was sentenced to 12 terms of life in prison plus 105 years by U.S. District Judge Nicholas Garaufis in Brooklyn, New York.

The sentencing came after a jury in June 2014 found Herron guilty of all 23 charges against him, from racketeering to drug trafficking to gang-related killings between 2001 and 2009.

Prosecutors at the trial used Herron's "gangsta rap" videos - in which he boasts about belonging to the infamous Bloods street gang, firing weapons and dealing drugs - to argue the lyrics documented his crimes.

Herron's lawyers argued that the lyrics were not autobiographical, but were commentary on crime, violence and drug wars in the inner city.

Brooklyn U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in a statement Thursday said the life sentence would put an end to the "brutal, unrelenting violence" that Herron unleashed.

"Herron styled himself a rap artist, but the evidence proved that he was a murderous thug who sought power through violence, fear and intimidation," she said.

A lawyer for Herron did not respond to a request for comment.

Sports Illustrated's 2015 Swimsuit Edition will feature it's first plus size model, Robyn Lawley. At size 12 she certainly qualifies as the curviest model to grace the pages of S.I., but when the average American woman is a size 14 does Robyn really qualify as plus size?

“I don’t know if I consider myself as a plus-size model or not,” Lawley said via TIME. “I just consider myself a model because I’m trying to help women in general accept their bodies.”

With the announcement social media exploded with critics who don't think Robyn qualifies as plus size.

Robyn explained to the TODAY Show that even though she doesn't consider herself to be plus size she's struggled with her body image.

"When I first started I really had an immense hate for my body. I hold it really accountable for holding me back," the 25-year old Australian model said. "I just felt disappointed. I was like, 'what didn't I get a skinny body?' It's just such a feat. I'm really happy and I'm so thrilled with Sports Illustrated for using me."

Do you think Sports Illustrated dropped the ball with this one and should have picked someone the average American woman can relate to as plus size? Plus there are millions of men who like their women a little thicker.
