Shots were fired just before 1am in the City Nightz nightclub on North Washington Street, Wichita Police Lt. Aaron Moses said during a press conference at the scene.

The shootings were part of a particularly violent night in Wichita, a city of nearly 4,00,000 people about 200 miles (320 kilometres) southwest of Kansas City, Missouri.

According to the police department's Facebook page, a 17-year-old boy was found dead around 6.30pm on Saturday.

Investigators said it appears he was shot during an argument with a 21-year-old man, who showed up at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his hand. 

About twenty minutes after the shootings at City Nightz on Sunday morning, a 35-year-old man was walking down a road when an unknown suspect shot him in the arm.
