1 man killed, 3 others wounded in shooting outside restaurant in Tremont
TREMONT, The Bronx (WABC) -- Four people were shot, one fatally, outside a lounge in the Tremont section of the Bronx after an apparent bar fight.
The gunfire stemmed from a dispute at the Kama Restaurant and Lounge on East Burnside Avenue at around 2:45 a.m. Monday.
A 34-year-old man shot once in the torso was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
A 23-year-old man shot in the right leg was taken to Lincoln Hospital, and a 37-year-old victim shot in the foot was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital.
Both are in stable condition.
And a 32-year-old man later arrived Montefiore Hospital. He was shot in the back and is in stable condition.
A gun and an unknown caliber shell casing were recovered at the scene.
Neighbors said the lounge has been trouble since it opened about two years ago.
"That doesn't belong on this block, this is family living here," one neighbor said.
Residents worry the cycle of violence will drag on over the hot summer.
"There's no making this area safe," neighbor Angelo Maestre said.
