Deadly Shooting in New York Bar
A shooting at Taste of the City bar in Brooklyn, New York, has left three people dead and eight injured. The incident occurred around 3:30 AM local time when gunfire erupted inside the establishment.
Investigation Underway
Police recovered 36 shell casings at the scene and found a firearm in a nearby street. Authorities believe multiple shooters were involved and are currently reviewing surveillance footage. No arrests have been made as of Sunday morning.
Victim Information
The deceased include two men aged 27 and 35, plus a third unidentified male victim. All eight injured were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
Context of NYC Crime Rates
This incident contrasts with recent crime trends in New York City. The NYPD reported record-low shooting incidents during the first seven months of 2025, with just over 400 cases - the lowest in the city's modern history. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch called the shooting "horrific" and promised a thorough investigation.
While violent crime has significantly decreased since the 1990s due to policing reforms and socioeconomic changes, isolated incidents continue to occur. The motive remains unknown, though witnesses reported an argument preceding the gunfire.
