Three people were killed and eight others wounded after gunfire erupted inside a crowded nightclub in Brooklyn early Sunday morning, police said.

The shooting took place just before 3:30 a.m. at Taste of the City Lounge in Crown Heights following what investigators described as “a dispute.” New York Police Department Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters that multiple weapons were believed to have been used in the attack.

“It’s a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York,” 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.
