Three people were killed and another 10 were injured in an overnight shooting involving multiple gunmen at a Brooklyn nightclub, police said Sunday. The dead were identified by the New York Police Department on Sunday night as Marvin St. Louis, 19, of Brooklyn; Amadou Diallo, 27, of Upper Manhattan; and Jamel Childs, 35, of Brooklyn.

Jamel Andre Childs, 35, tried to cool tempers down at Taste of the City lounge in Crown Heights before the gunfight erupted, friends say.

Two of the three people killed in a New York City nightclub shooting early Sunday have been identified as suspected gunmen who opened fire inside the establishment, injuring up to 11 other people, police officials said on Monday.
