A bouncer trying to break up a gunfight at a Brooklyn nightclub was killed this morning, authorities said.
The melee between two rival groups started inside of Pat’s Palm Tree on Church Avenue in East Flatbush around 4:30 a.m., police said.
Bullets started flying and the ruckus spilled out onto the street, cops said. The 32-year-old bouncer was caught in the crossfire and was shot several times, police said.
He was rushed to nearby Kings County Hospital where he died from his injuries, police said.
It was not immediately clear what sparked the violence, cops said.
