Federal prosecutors have charged a man they say played a role in a gang-related shooting that broke out in a crowded Brooklyn bar this summer, leaving three dead and 10 others injured. For the first time Wednesday, prosecutors also released security camera footage of the chaotic gunfight, which unfolded August 17 inside the Taste of City Lounge in the Crown Heights neighbourhood of Brooklyn.

The video showed patrons scrambling for cover as bullets ricocheted across the densely-packed club, with at least 40 shots fired from five guns, prosecutors said. Among the shooters was Elijah Roy, a 25-year-old gang member who arrived at the club with several associates, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday.
