Three people were killed and one injured in a nightclub shooting last night near Dothan, Alabama, reports the AP. The suspected shooter, 22-year-old Ryan Clark Peterson, was kicked out of the club last night, then allegedly got a gun from his car and re-entered the club, reports DothanFirst. He was arrested at around 7:15 this morning, found in the woods half a mile from the shooting site. Police said they had not questioned Peterson yet because he was still under the influence of alcohol. (More shooting stories.)
