4:22Now PlayingThree people were killed and nine others wounded when up to four gunmen opened fire in a possible gang-related shooting at a Brooklyn hookah lounge around closing time early Sunday, authorities said. It was the second mass shooting in the city in weeks — occurring after a nut stormed a swanky Midtown skyscraper late last month and shot dead four innocent people before turning the gun on himself. “I can easily stand here and tell you that we have driven down crime, that we have removed over 2,000 illegal guns off our street,” a grim-faced Mayor Eric Adams told reporters during a briefing on Sunday’s violence and mentioning the other recent mass shooting. “I can give you those numbers and those stats. But that does not comfort those who are victims of gun violence,” he said.
