NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 A club shooting in the New York City borough of Brooklyn early Sunday left three people dead and nine others wounded in a year of record low gun violence in the city.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
There were no immediate arrests. At a news briefing, Tisch called the killings \u201ca tragic, senseless act of violence.\u201d<\/p>\n
The crime is the second mass shooting within weeks in New York City during a year that has otherwise seen declining gun violence. On July 29, a man stalked through a Manhattan office tower with a rifle, wounding one person and killing four others. A New York City police officer was among those who died.<\/p>\n
Mayor Eric Adams said both shootings reinforce \u201cwhy we do this work of going after guns off our streets.\u201d<\/p>\n

A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the second within weeks, and we don\u2019t want this to turn into a normal course of doing business of violence in our city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Those wounded Sunday were being treated at hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, Tisch said. The ages of the victims range from 19 to 61. A 19-year-old man died at the scene and two other men — ages 35 and 27 — died after being transported to a hospital.<\/p>\n
Investigators found at least 42 shell casings from 9 mm and .45-caliber weapons and a firearm in a nearby street.<\/p>\n
Adams said crisis management teams had been mobilized to provide trauma services and facilitate mediation efforts with the victims\u2019 friends and families to try to stop any retaliation. He asked members of the public who might have information about the shooting to help investigators by calling NYPD\u2019s crime stoppers line, 800-577-TIPS.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you were inside the club, if you heard individuals talking about this shooting, if you witnessed someone fleeing the location, every piece of information will allow us to put the puzzle together,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n
Tisch said the city has reported the lowest number of shootings and shooting victims on record during the first seven months of 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomething like this is, of course, thank God, an anomaly and it\u2019s a terrible thing that happened this morning, but we\u2019re going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
