Authorities believe the baby shower shooting likely began as a dispute. Surveillance video showed a clash outside the event space, but police said it’s not clear yet who opened fire.

Investigators are also working to learn what led to a 41-year-old man being shot eight times. He was shot in a building lobby on Ten Eyck Walk just before 2 a.m. on Sunday in Williamsburg, according to authorities.

He’s expected to survive, police said.
