ALLERTON, Bronx (WABC) -- It was a wild scene early Saturday morning after a fight at a lounge turned into a shootout in the Bronx.

Detectives say an argument of some sort in the Bruxelles Lounge spilled into the street just before 4:30 a.m. Four people were shot and two were stabbed.

The shooter was reportedly in a car passing by, and fired into the crowd, sending six people to area hospitals.

The most serious injuries: a 24-year-old woman is in critical condition after being shot in the head. A 25-year-old man was also stabbed in the head.

The melee was so violent that it left a string of evidence from shell casings, shoes and pieces of clothing scattered in the roadway. Investigators won't say how, but do confirm that a white Range Rover is part of the investigation.

Shantel Harris lives around the corner, and heard about the chaos.



"It's peaceful. You don't hear about anything - no fights, no arguments," she says.

The Bruxelles Lounge is mostly for private parties, but police say four people have been arrested for running an unlicensed club.
