A club shooting in Brooklyn resulted in three fatalities and nine injuries amid a year marked by record low gun violence in New York City. Investigators suspect gang involvement, with up to four shooters opening fire at Taste of the City Lounge. The incident follows another mass shooting within weeks. Police recovered numerous shell casings and a firearm nearby. Responses include crisis management teams deployed to assist victims' families and a call for public assistance in the investigation.
Investigators believe up to four shooters opened fire at Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights after a dispute just before 3:30 a.m. The violence appeared to be gang-related, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters.
The crime is the second mass shooting within weeks in New York City during a year that has otherwise seen declining gun violence.
Investigators found at least 42 shell casings from 9 mm and .45-caliber weapons and a firearm in a nearby street.
Adams said crisis management teams had been mobilized to provide trauma services and facilitate mediation efforts with the victims' friends and families to try to stop any retaliation.
