The New York Police Department said a shooting incident in Brooklyn today left at least four people dead and three injured.

The shooting took place at the Triple A Aces club in Brooklyn's Crown Heights area around 7am (local time), said Brian Magoolaghan, a spokesman for the New York Police Department.

Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered 6 men and a woman were hit by bullets, of which 4 men died on the spot. The three injured were then taken to Brookdale Medical Center for treatment with non-life-threatening wounds.

Several witnesses in the club were summoned by police to investigate the cause of the shooting. People living around the area said they were still feeling overwhelmed by the incident.

"This is pitiful. Whoever is responsible for the shootings, he no longer cares about anything," said Steve Pruitt, 59, of people living near the scene.
