Four people are dead and three were wounded following a bloody Saturday morning shooting at a Brooklyn social club, authorities said.

Cops raced to the Triple A Aces social club on Utica Ave. near Dean St. in Crown Heights on a report to shots fired at about 7 a.m. When they arrived, they found six men and one woman hit by gunfire. Four of the men died at the scene. A woman and two men were also hit by gunfire, but survived with non-life threatening injuries, officials said.
...
Police were investigating Saturday. Several witnesses have been taken in for questioning in regards to what led to the shooting, sources with knowledge of the case said.

The grey, aluminum sided Triple A Aces bills itself as a “private and social rental space” for “food, fun and entertainment” according to a sign above the door.
