• Three people dead and nine wounded in a Brooklyn club shooting.
• Incident occurred amid record low gun violence in New York City.
• Police Commissioner calls it a "tragic, senseless act of violence."

A shooting at the Taste of the City Lounge in Brooklyn, New York, early Sunday morning has left three individuals dead and nine others wounded. The incident occurred just before 3:30 a.m. and is believed to have followed a dispute, with investigators suspecting that multiple shooters may have been involved. The victims included a 19-year-old man who died at the scene, while two others, aged 27 and 35, succumbed to their injuries at a hospital, according to HuffPost, Al Jazeera, and Los Angeles Times.

According to Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, law enforcement discovered at least 42 shell casings from 9-millimeter and .45-caliber weapons at the scene. This shooting is part of a troubling trend, marking the second mass shooting in New York City within weeks, despite the city experiencing a record low year in gun violence. Tisch described the incident as a "tragic, senseless act of violence", emphasizing the need for ongoing investigations, reports South China Morning Post and Los Angeles Times.

The violent outburst took place in a context where New York has seen the lowest shooting incidents in recorded history during the first seven months of 2025. Commissioner Tisch emphasized, "Something like this is, of course, thank God an anomaly," as authorities rally to piece together evidence and prevent any potential retaliatory violence, according to South China Morning Post and Al Jazeera.
