WASHINGTON

Seven people were injured in a shooting at a nightclub in southern California early Monday, according to local authorities.

At 12:04 a.m. (0404GMT), the Riverside Police Department reported it received a call regarding a shooting at the Sevilla Nightclub, and on arrival at the scene it located two people wounded from gunshots.

Five other people were later reported injured. All seven were transported to hospitals to receive medical treatment.

None of the injuries are life-threatening, according to the police.

The department's robbery and homicide unit, along with the gang intelligence unit and forensic team are investigating the incident.

While news outlets initially reported a mass shooting, that was later corrected by police.

"There was some initial misinformation describing this incident as a 'mass shooting.' It was not and detectives from our Gang Unit are following up on leads to identity the suspects involved," officer Ryan Railsback said on Twitter.
