Washington, Jan 23
Twelve people were shot and injured at a nightclub in Baton Rouge, capital city of the US state of Louisiana.
Three of the injured were in critical condition and were rushed to the hospital, Xinhua news agency quoted local media reports as saying.
On Sunday evening, police spokesman L'Jean McKneely Jr. said all the injured were in stable condition.
The shooting occurred at the Dior Bar and Lounge around 1.30 a.m., said McKneely.

The incident on Saturday night took place at the Star Ballroom Dance Studio, a popular dance hall, as thousands gathered Asian-American majority city to mark the Lunar New Year state holiday.
