Shooting At Brooklyn Nightclub Kills 3, 8 Injured In Crown Heights

<p>Three people were killed and eight others wounded after gunfire erupted inside a crowded nightclub in Brooklyn early Sunday morning, police said.</p>
<p>The shooting took place just before 3:30 a.m. at Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights following what investigators described as &ldquo;a dispute.&rdquo; New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters that multiple weapons were believed to have been used in the attack.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,&rdquo; Tisch said at a press briefing. Officers recovered at least 36 shell casings from the scene along with a firearm found on a nearby street, she added, reported Associated Press.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The victims included eight men and three women, ranging in age from 27 to 61. All were taken to local hospitals, and their injuries are considered non-life-threatening, according to authorities.</p>
<p>Despite the scale of the attack, police stressed that the incident comes during a period of historically low gun violence in New York City. &ldquo;We have the lowest numbers of shooting incidents and shooting victims seven months into the year that we&rsquo;ve seen on record,&rdquo; Tisch noted. &ldquo;Something like this is, of course, an anomaly &mdash; a terrible thing that happened this morning &mdash; but we&rsquo;re going to investigate and get to the bottom of what went down.&rdquo;</p>
<p>No arrests have been announced as detectives continue their investigation into the nightclub tragedy.</p>
