Four men were shot and wounded by gunfire inside a notorious Queens nightclub with a track record of gun violence, cops said. 

Bullets turned the dance floor inside Amadeus nightclub in Elmhurst into a bloodbath around 3:40 a.m. on Sunday, according to the NYPD. 

When cops arrived, they found two 28-year-old men who’d been hit by gunfire – one who had been grazed in the head and another struck in the face, police said.

The two were taken to Elmhurst Hospital by EMS, where they were in stable condition, according to authorities.

Investigators later found two other victims who had been victims of the violence – a 25-year-old man at Elmhurst Hospital with wounds to his abdomen and arm and a 24-year-old man at Kings County Hospital with a wound to his arm. 

Those two were also listed in stable condition, according to authorities. 

The nightclub is no stranger to shootings, having been the site of gun violence the past few years.

A dispute inside the club became violent and led to a shooting that killed a 19-year-old man and wounded a 31-year-old woman in 2023, cops said.

And just last year, three people were wounded inside a Rolls Royce waiting just outside the club after a gunman started shooting up the car, police said. 

Amadeus did not respond to The Post’s request for inquiry at time of publication.

City Council members Phil Wong and Shekar Krishnan issued a joint statement saying they were “deeply troubled by the shooting.”

“While we are grateful that no lives were lost, this incident is the latest in a pattern of violence tied to this location,” the statement said.

“We are working with the NYPD and relevant city agencies as the investigation continues,” the council members added. “Our communities deserve safe streets, and establishments that repeatedly put lives at risk must be held accountable.”
