BROOKLYN — Four men were shot Sunday in a possible gang dispute inside an unlicensed social club at a Bushwick cellphone store, an NYPD spokesman said.

The four men were inside 192 Knickerbocker Ave., a hangout for the Wild Chicanos gang near Jefferson Street, about 6:20 p.m., when a gunman entered and a fight broke out, police said.

The shooter, who was wearing a black North Face jacket with a black baseball cap, opened fire with a .40-caliber gun, police said.

A 65-year-old was hit in the buttocks, a 23-year-old was hit in the leg, a 32-year-old was hit in the arm and a 26-year-old's leg was grazed, police said. They were all treated at Kings County and Elmhurst hospitals, police said.

The 26-year-old man is a member of the Wild Chicanos and they believe the suspect may have been tied to the Brown Side gang, an NYPD spokesman said.

There were no immediate arrests, police said.
