Gunfire erupted inside a Louisiana nightclub early Sunday and wounded a dozen people in a "targeted attack," police said, marking one of the latest mass shootings in the U.S.

One of the 12 victims was in critical condition after the shooting at the Dior Bar & Lounge in Baton Rouge, police said.

"This was not a random act of violence, based on the preliminary investigating efforts," Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul said in a news conference Sunday.

“We will not stop our work until everyone feels safe and individuals no longer turn to guns to resolve their differences,” Broome tweeted.

Although the number of homicides in Baton Rouge decreased last year from 2021, Louisiana’s capital city has been plagued by gun violence.

In October, an early-morning shooting near Southern University’s campus in Baton Rouge left nine people injured.
