At least 11 injured in mass shooting outside Amazura nightclub in Queens as cops launch hunt for suspects

A total of 11 individuals have sustained injuries in a mass shooting that took place outside a nightclub in New York.

The incident occurred in Queens on New Year’s Day as a large number of people were exiting the establishment.

According to The New York Post, the majority of the wounded individuals are believed to be teenagers.

Police sources told AM NY that two to three suspects opened fire outside the Amazura and were shooting indiscriminately at dozens.

The venue, which can hold up to 4,000 people, was thought to be hosting a private party at the time of the shooting.

Local media reports that the event was being held in honor of a late gang member.

No arrests have been made, but cops are also looking for a gray car as part of their probe.

Police have also been seen putting evidence markers near the venue.

The victims were rushed to the hospitals near the concert hall.

None are thought to be critical, and all are expected to survive.

Footage shared on Citizen showed cop cars and ambulances charging to the nightclub.

It was the second shooting that happened in the vicinity of the nightclub within a matter of months.

In April, two men were shot and injured.

Police have stressed that the shooting is not a terrorist attack.

But, the gun violence came just hours after New Orleans was hit by a terror attack that left 15 dead.

NEW YEAR CARNAGE

Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, deliberately drove a Ford SUV into a crowd of revelers who were ushering in the New Year on the city’s famed Bourbon Street.

Dozens were left injured in the carnage that unfolded.

Cops revealed Jabbar drove the truck at high speeds and was intentional in his actions.

Investigators also uncovered an ISIS flag and discovered pipe bombs that were hidden within coolers.

Meanwhile, witnesses have recalled the chaos that unfolded.

Whit Davis told the BBC that people started hiding under tables.

“We had been on and around Bourbon Street since the beginning of the evening,” he said.

“When we were in the bar we didn’t hear shooting or crashes because the music was so loud.”

Swat teams have since been seen cornering a man seen outside Jabbar’s home in Texas.

Jabbar’s brother, Abdul, 24, told The New York Times his older sibling had converted to Islam a long time ago.

“What he did does not represent Islam,” he said.

“This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
