Three men have been killed and nine others wounded in a gang-related shooting at a crowded nightclub in Brooklyn, despite New York City recording historic lows in gun violence this year.
Gunfire erupted shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Sunday at Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights, where investigators believe up to four shooters opened fire with multiple weapons following a dispute, according to New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
“It’s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,” Tisch said at a news briefing, describing the incident as “a tragic, senseless act of violence.”
Police recovered at least 42 shell casings from both 9mm and .45-calibre firearms and discovered one weapon discarded on a nearby street.
A 19-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, while two other men — aged 35 and 27 — died after being taken to hospital. The nine wounded, aged between 19 and 61, were receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Mayor Eric Adams said the city’s crisis management teams had been deployed to support victims’ families and prevent possible retaliation. “We’re asking anyone with information to come forward,” he added, urging the public to contact NYPD’s crime stoppers line.
