In a shooting incident at Taste of the City Lounge in Brooklyn, three people were killed and nine others wounded. The attack, linked to gang activity, involved multiple shooters and occurred just before 3:30 a.m. on Sunday. A 19-year-old was among the deceased, with injuries among victims ranging from 19 to 61 years old. At least 42 shell casings were found on-site. Crisis management teams were deployed to assist victims' families and prevent retaliation. This shooting marks the second mass shooting in New York City within weeks, amidst otherwise declining gun violence statistics.
The shooting at Taste of the City Lounge involved up to four shooters employing multiple weapons, and is believed to be gang-related, as stated by NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Despite record-low gun violence in New York City this year, the recent shootings highlight the ongoing threat posed by firearms and the need for greater intervention, according to Mayor Eric Adams.
