One man is dead and three others wounded after a gunman opened fire on the guests at a baby shower in New York City.

The NYPD tells HNGN that it happened early Saturday morning in Queens.

Officers were called to investigate an assault at Volume Seventeen, a relatively new venue at 108-11 Atlantic Ave., at around 1:30 a.m.

Police found a 24-year-old man shot in the chest. EMS rushed him to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center but it was too late to save his life.

A 26-year-old man had been shot in the right arm and a 45-year-old man was suffering from a gunshot wound to his left leg. They were hospitalized in stable condition.

A 43-year-old man later showed up at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center with gunshot wounds to the right arm and left leg. He was listed in stable condition.

The glass doors to the venue had at least 11 bullet holes in them. Decorations littered the floor after the shooting.

Gifts including boxes of diapers were also scattered inside the venue.

There were no arrests in the case and the NYPD didn't have a motive.

The identity of the victim who died was being withheld pending family notification.
