Four men, aged 32 to 49, were shot dead in New York. Two other men and a woman were injured, a police spokesman told the German press agency on Saturday. The injuries are not life threatening.
The police were called to the crime scene in a nightclub in Brooklyn on Saturday morning. At a press conference around 10:00 a.m. local time, it was announced that illegal gambling may have taken place in the nightclub. A police spokesman said that playing cards and dice found at the scene of the crime suggested this. There were no arrests. The background to the crime was initially unclear. The investigation continued, said the spokesman. (dpa)
