New York City was shaken by a mass shooting in which 11 people were hit, of whom three have died, at a restaurant-cum-lounge

Taste of the City Lounge, the site of the shooting, is known for its Caribbean dishes and features a hookah bar along with live DJs.

What began as a dispute inside the packed nightclub escalated when multiple gunmen opened fire, unleashing chaos before fleeing into the streets.

Around four shooters opened fire at a New York City restaurant early Sunday, resulting in three deaths and eight injuries. According to police, the violence is gang-related.
