Three people were killed and another eight injured in an overnight shooting at a club in Brooklyn, New York, NBC News reported early Sunday, citing the city's police.

The shooting took place at the Taste Of The City Lounge in the Crown Heights neighborhood, New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told a news conference, adding that officers responded to calls of the shooting just before 3:30 a.m. Eastern Time (0830 GMT).

The three people killed were all men, and all were pronounced dead at the scene, according to police.

The shooting was reportedly sparked by a dispute inside the crowded venue. At least 36 shell casings were found at the scene.

Tisch said there were multiple shooters involved, adding that police were still investigating and nobody was in custody.

Five men and three women are being treated at hospitals for non-life-threatening injuries, she said.

"It's a terrible shooting that occurred in the city of New York," Tisch said.
