NEW YORK -- Police are searching for a suspect Sunday after at least three people were shot at a bar in Harlem early Sunday morning.

CBS New York has obtained new video as police continue their search for the suspect.

Window repairs were underway on the front door of Lorraine's Place 2 on Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. Surveillance footage from a nearby store shows the gunman feet from the glass door in front of a van parked at the curb pointing and shooting, as patrons run down the sidewalk. It all happened at around 3:30 a.m.

"You hear a loud noise, so you gotta make sure everybody else in the house is okay," a neighbor named Lucky said. "It was three consecutive loud bangs."

Lucky lives upstairs from the bar and said the gunfire woke him up. Police said three men were shot -- a 46-year-old in the left thigh and a 39- and 21-year-old were both shot in the right leg. They're listed in stable condition. Police spent Sunday morning and afternoon coming in and out of the late-night bar. Its employees did not speak to reporters.

The neighbor of about two years was surprised how it all unfolded.

"It rarely happens over here," Lucky said of gun violence.

Police are still investigating what exactly led to the shooting.
