(CNN) -- Four people have been killed and at least two others wounded in shootings in Herkimer County, New York, state police trooper Jack Keller said Wednesday.

The shootings were reported Wednesday morning in two separate upstate New York communities, Herkimer and Mohawk, CNN affiliate WKTV reported.

Authorities are looking for the shooter, Keller said.

The incidents prompted officials to put schools on lockdown in Herkimer and Mohawk, as well in as the nearby municipalities of Ilion, Frankfort, Little Falls, Richfield Springs, Dolgeville, West Winfield, Bridgewater and Newport, said Mark Vivacqua, the Herkimer school superintendent.

"Everything is calm" within the schools, Vivacqua said.

Herkimer and Mohawk, separated by the Mohawk River, are about 70 miles west-northwest of Albany.

Several people shot in Brampton last night.

Average day  there.

Several people shot in Brampton last night.

Probably just another neighbourhood party that got out of hand.

At least the people doing the shooting aren't very accurate with their bullets. 

In the states, they shoot to kill.

Three women were rushed to hospital after a triple shooting in a Brampton strip club early Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for Peel EMS said.

Shots were fired at The Office Gentleman’s Club on Melanie Dr., near Steeles Ave. E and Airport Rd., just before 1:30 a.m., Peel EMS said.

"""""Two of the victims were shot in the chest and suffered life threatening injuries. The other was shot in the arm and is expected to be released from hospital later Wednesday, Const. George Tudos told CP24"""""

Police say the women were patrons at the club for a function- not employees

A Twerking dance night was being held at the club at the time of the shooting.
Peel police are analyzing security footage from the club and interviewing witnesses, Tudos said.

No arrests have been made.

Tudos said he is hoping that any witnesses who left the scene before police arrived will come forward to help identify the shooter.
