WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Authorities say a bystander who was wounded in a shooting at a Wichita club has died.

KWCH-TV reports that police identified the victim Monday as 19-year-old Sonja Brown, of Wichita. She was in the club early Sunday when two men got into a fight. One of the men then opened fire, scrambling the crowd. Capt. Brent Allred says Brown was among those running for cover when she was struck.

She was rushed to a hospital in critical condition and died from her injuries later that night.

Allred says 30 shell casings were found in the parking lot of the business. He says a restaurant located across the street sustained damage in the shooting, and investigators believe there may be another victim.

Police say gang members were involved in the shooting.
