Wednesday Eyewitness News has learned the gathering was to celebrate the birthday and life of Taearion Mungo, a 16-year-old fatally shot in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, last Oct. 26. He would have turned 17 on Wednesday. Among the panicked crowd were six women and four men between the ages of 16-20 who were injured in the gunfire. The NYPD said it was a dangerous scene as about 30 shots were fired before the suspects got away in a gray Infiniti with out-of-state plates. 'Four males walked towards the venue, three to four males began firing over 30 times in the direction of the people outside the venue hitting multiple victims,' said Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera, NYPD. 'There is zero tolerance for these senseless shootings, these acts of violence. Those responsible will be brought to justice.' Police say this was not an act of terror and they are investigating whether the mass shooting might be gang-related. Phil Taitt reports from Chelsea on the attack
