Shooting at Queens nightclub leaves 10 people wounded by several shooters; perpetrators remain at large

An investigation is ongoing in New York City after a group of three to four men fired shots at a crowd, according to the police.

It happened outside of the Amazura nightclub on 144th Place in Queens. Officials said 10 people were injured.

More than 30 bullet markers could be seen down on the street and the crime scene unit was searching the area.

A private event was taking place at the space with about 90 people inside when shots were fired around 11:30 p.m. 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.

Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera of the NYPD stated, “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.” He emphasized that there is no tolerance for such senseless acts of violence and that those responsible will face justice.

Police say this was not an act of terror and they are investigating whether the mass shooting might be gang-related.

All of the injured victims are expected to survive.
