Police have not released the names of those involved but the station reports that one victim was shot in the chest, two were shot in the head, and a fourth victim was wounded in the arm but survived.

The shooter was reportedly found on the rooftop of the building where the shooting took place with what police describe as a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police say a rifle was found next to his body.

The New York Times reports that neighbors say the shooter and at least some of the victims may have been members of a band called the Yellow Dogs. The group's Twitter profile describes them as "A Post Punk/Dance Punk band from Tehran/IRAN, living in Brooklyn at the moment."
