A shooting outside a Queens nightclub left at least 10 people injured. Police are investigating if the shooting is gang-related.
At least 10 people were shot when three to four gunmen opened fire on a group standing outside a Queens nightclub where a private event was taking place Wednesday night, the New York Police Department said in an early morning press briefing Thursday. All of the victims in the 144th Street shooting outside Amazura nightclub -- six females, four males -- are expected to survive, police said. Authorities are investigating if the shooting is gang-related. They say there is no nexus to terror.
According to investigators, police got multiple 911 calls shortly after 11 p.m. for a shooting at the club. Roughly 90 people were inside, upstairs at a private venue. The venue was at capacity, and about 15 were waiting to get in. Authorities say that's when three to four males, believed to be in their mid-to-late-teens to early 20s, walked up and opened fire on the group standing outside the club. About 30 shots were fired. At least 10 people were hit. 'There's zero tolerance for these senseless shootings,' Philip Rivera, the NYPD's chief of transportation, said at a press conference. 'These horrible acts of violence on our streets, and those responsible for this crime, will be apprehended and brought to justice.
