Investigators say the group was picked up just before 5 a.m. Friday and dropped off at Purlieu Gentlemen’s Club on 36th Avenue in Astoria. They then got into an argument inside the club and came back outside. That’s when police say shots were fired. Three men were stabbed after a fight broke out at Club Purlieu in March of 2015.
