| 2018-09-10 |
| [Commercial Appeal] Police are investigating after multiple people were shot Monday morning at a downtown nightclub. Officers responded to a shooting call at Purple Haze located at South 2nd Street and Lt. George West Lee Avenue around 3:25 a.m., according to the Memphis Fire Department. The Memphis Police Department tweeted that four people were shot and taken to a nearby hospital. One victim was in critical condition, and the other three were in non-critical condition. No further information is available regarding suspects or how the incident occurred. It isn't the first time the downtown venue has been in headlines. In April, a well-known peace activist died after being shot outside of the club. In Dec. 2017, a man was critically injured during an early morning shooting at Purple Haze on Christmas Day. |

| #1 That's only a couple blocks south of Beale St. Used to be pretty safe in that area but it's been a while since I was there, and I wasn't around at 3AM either. |
