ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A shooting erupted inside a nightclub packed with hundreds of people in the city's tourist district early Sunday, killing two people and injuring 10 others, authorities said.

It was the second mass shooting at a Florida nightclub this weekend.

The shooting took place just before 1 a.m. with about 300 people inside the Glitz Ultra Lounge. Three off-duty Orlando Police Department officers were working security at the club when the shooting started, the Orlando Sentinel reported (http://bit.ly/1mlKHAt).

Police spokeswoman Michelle Guido said it's not clear what prompted the shooting or if any of the off-duty officers fired their weapons.
