SEDGWICK COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a shooting that fatally injured 34-year-old Preston Spencer of Wichita and injured five other woman who sustained non-life-threatening injuries, according to Officer Charley Davidson.

Just after 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, police responded to a shooting call at the Enigma Club, 351 N. Mosley in Wichita.  Upon arrival, officers located multiple victims.  They were all transported to an area hospital for medical treatment. 

The investigation revealed a male suspect got into a disturbance earlier inside the club and was made to leave.  The suspect returned a short time later and fired multiple rounds with a handgun through windows into the club from the outside, striking the victims.
