NYC mass shooting at hookah lounge
Chilling new video captures the moment dozens of panicked patrons run for their lives as deadly gunfire breaks out at a packed Brooklyn hookah lounge early Sunday.
The crowd is seen spilling out onto the sidewalk outside Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights shortly before 3:30 a.m., fleeing as up to four button men open fire inside during a dispute — leaving three dead and nine others maimed.
The surveillance footage shows one man stumbling out of the club and falling to the sidewalk, where he is helped by another man and hauled away while others run for their lives.
Another man is captured falling to the curb at the Franklin Avenue street corner, where he remains without moving for the duration of the 2-minute clip.
Cops later recovered 42 spent shells from .9mm and 25-caliber weapons, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during press briefings on Sunday.
Tisch said a 19-year-old victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and two other men — ages 27 and 35 — died at nearby hospitals.
Police have launched a manhunt for the gun-toting killers.
Four people opened fire at a Brooklyn bar early Sunday morning, killing three and wounding nine others in what appeared to be a gang-related attack that sent patrons diving for cover and running for the exits.
The police said the shooters used 9-millimeter and .45-caliber firearms after a “dispute” at the bar, Taste of the City Lounge at 903 Franklin Avenue in Crown Heights, around 3:30 a.m. Nine men and three women were shot, their ages ranging from 19 to 61, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said on Sunday.
Taste of the City, a restaurant and bar that serves Caribbean food, is about half a block from a transit police station on Franklin Avenue. On its website and on social media, the lounge advertises Haitian tacos, two-for-one drinks on Friday nights, D.J.s and dancing.
A neighbor, Rajawn Philips, 49, called it a neighborhood scourge. “A melting pot of violence, ignorance and liquor,” he said.
A list of rules posted on the bar’s Instagram page said it has “zero tolerance for violence, foolery or disruptive behavior.” The bar said it has bouncers on weekends and forbids weapons. It also forbids sweatpants, hooded sweatshirts and masks after 9 p.m., and denies entry after 11 p.m. to anyone under 25.
The police will interview the bouncers about the shooting, Commissioner Tisch said.
