At least two men were killed and three others wounded after a gunman opened fire early Sunday at a party in New York City, according to authorities.

Police said the suspect shot one person at the party before shooting three men who were sitting inside a nearby gray Infinity sedan.
It was unclear whether the fifth victim was shot inside or outside the party, said NYPD Deputy Chief John Chell.

A man, 51, who survived suffered wounds to his forearm, upper back, and chest, they added. Another victim, age 37, drove himself to a local area hospital with a gunshot wound to his right shoulder, officials told the Daily News.
