NEW YORK - Four people are dead, including the gunman, and
one wounded in what is believed to be a triple murder-suicide in Brooklyn early
Monday.
The shots rang out inside 318 Maujer Street in East
Williamsburg just after midnight.
Police confirm that all those involved are adult males. The
surviving victim was shot in the arm and taken to a local hospital, where he is
expected to survive.
It appears at this time all victims knew each other, and
authorities are looking into whether this may have been the result of some type
of prior dispute.
They are investigating a possible link to a music band, and
they believe the three fatalities were all members of the same group. The
shooter may have been a former member.
Police were called to the scene for reports of shots fired.
When they arrived, they entered the townhouse and reportedly
heard more shots fired inside the house.
Authorities say officers did not discharge their weapons.
The victims were found on the second and third floors. The
shooter was discovered on the roof.
