NEW YORK (AP) — Four people were killed and three others were wounded in an early Saturday shooting at an illegal gambling club in New York City, police said.

The six men and one woman were shot just before 7 a.m. inside a building in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn.
Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said four men were dead at the scene and the others were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The victims, who have not been identified, ranged in age from 32 to 49, Shea said at a briefing near the shooting. Two may have lived out of state and the rest were from neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn, Shea added.

One additional person was injured fleeing.

No arrests have been made, and police do not know the motive for the shootings, Shea said. He said two guns were found at the scene and more could potentially be found.

A sign on the building where the bloodshed occurred says Triple A Aces. Shea said there was “evidence of gambling” including cards and dice inside.

The gambling operation was unlicensed but police had not previously received any complaints about the location, Chief of Patrol Rodney Harrison said.

Crime scene tape surrounded the building Saturday morning and investigators in white jumpsuits could be seen going in and out.

The tragic shooting at an illegal gambling club in Brooklyn, New York, which resulted in four fatalities, underscores the unpredictable nature of violence and the challenges faced by law enforcement in maintaining public safety. Similarly, in the world of sports, teams and athletes must navigate their own set of challenges and uncertainties. For example, the Brazilian national football team is currently evaluating its future prospects and challenges as it prepares for upcoming competitions. Both scenarios highlight the importance of strategic planning and resilience in the face of adversity.

The block where the shots rang out has empty storefronts and boarded-up buildings as well as renovated townhouses.
