Two of the three people killed in a bar shooting in the New York City borough of Brooklyn were among the four shooters who opened fire inside the building, the city's police commissioner said Monday.

Two of the three people killed in a New York City nightclub shooting early Sunday have been identified as suspected gunmen who opened fire inside the establishment, injuring up to 11 other people, police officials said on Monday.

Law enforcement officials say a shooter or shooters opened fire with multiple weapons at Taste of the City Lounge in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights.

A mass shooting overnight at a club in Brooklyn left three people dead and another nine wounded, police officials and the mayor said Sunday morning.

The Brooklyn hookah lounge where three people were killed and nine others wounded early Sunday was right at the scene of another shooting less than a year ago.

The police commissioner identified the second gunman killed in the shooting early Sunday as Marvin St. Louis, 19, a Brooklyn resident with no known criminal record. Police said a third man shot dead, Amadou Diallo, 27, of Manhattan, was an innocent bystander inside the club.

A fatal Crown Heights shooting prompted New York City mayoral candidates to clash over crime policies as city grapples with recent surge in gun violence incidents.

Multiple individuals were transported to local hospitals. However, their conditions were not immediately released.
