A shooting broke out at a crowded Brooklyn nightclub around 3:30 a.m. Sunday morning; three people were killed and another nine were injured and taken to hospitals in the borough.

Victims range in age from 19 to 61. The youngest, a 19-year-old male, as well as two men ages 27 and 35, all succumbed to their injuries.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said investigators believed up to four people fired guns during the nightclub shootout. Forty-two shell casings were recovered at the scene and a gun was recovered nearby, but officials couldn't say yet whether it was linked to the incident.
