“There were 3 young men who came around the corner and tried to go in and when they went inside they engaged in gunfire,” police said.

Police add that they are hearing conflicting stories.

A nearby greenlight camera captured images of the suspects. Police are asking anyone who knows anything to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
