We live down the block from Exit. There was indeed quite a ruckus early this morning, and we are pretty sure we heard gun shots. This morning my wife was stopped by a detective. Apparently someone was shot in the head. Not cool…
Just saw this link about it on Brooklynian: https://www.brooklynian.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41963
I don’t have a lot to add, but can confirm a couple of things. I walked a friend home from her bartending job last night to her place a few doors before McGuinness on Greenpoint, so we walked by Club Exit a little after 4 am. There was a huge, excited crowd and a number of cops with more arriving.
I left her place at 5:30 and walked home and police tape was up blocking the sidewalk across the street from the club with a couple of police cars parked there. I didn’t check it out in detail; because of that tape barricade I walked down Eckford instead of going on to Manhattan Ave to get home.
The Daily News website today posted a brief [a href=”https://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2008/04/19/2008-04-19_partygoer_shot_near_brooklyn_club.html

Thank you for the update on this, Jay.
