In a shocking incident late Wednesday night, a shooting outside a Queens nightclub left 10 people wounded.
The New York Police Department reported that at least 10 individuals, including six females and four males, were shot when three to four gunmen opened fire on a group standing outside Amazura nightclub on 144th Street. This attack occurred during a private event inside the venue.
According to police reports, the shooting took place shortly after 11 p.m. when multiple 911 calls were received. At the time, the club was at full capacity with approximately 90 people inside for the event, while about 15 people were waiting outside to enter.
Investigators are considering the possibility that this shooting might be gang-related, although they clarified that there is no connection to terrorism. The gunmen, described as males in their mid-to-late teens or early 20s, approached the group and fired around 30 shots, hitting at least 10 victims. Miraculously, all victims are expected to survive their injuries.
Chief of Transportation Philip Rivera addressed the media, emphasizing the city’s intolerance for such acts of violence. ‘There’s zero tolerance for these senseless shootings,’ Rivera stated. ‘Those responsible for this crime will be apprehended and brought to justice.’ Despite the seriousness of the incident, no arrests have been made so far.
As authorities continue their investigation into this violent event, the community remains on high alert, hoping for swift justice and a return to safety in their neighborhoods.
