Trouble visited the nightclub earlier this summer. In July, one man was struck in the chest, another in the arm in a double shooting outside the East Flatbush lounge. Both victims survived.

Hours earlier Saturday, two men were shot when gunfire erupted at around 2:30 a.m. on Randall and Rosedale avenues in the Bronx.

One victim, 36, was shot in the right leg and the other, 35, was struck in the right arm, police said.

Both men were taken to Jacobi Hospital in stable condition. There are no arrests. Police said the suspect made his getaway southbound on Randall Avenue on an electric scooter.
