NYPD says 'not a terrorist attack' after 10 shot outside NYC event space on New Year's Day

The New York Police Department (NYPD) made it clear that the incident outside the Amazura nightclub in Queens was not a terrorist attack, following a shooting that left 10 people injured on New Year’s Day. This reassurance came on the same day as a terror incident occurred in New Orleans.

Reports came in at around 11:18 p.m. with several 911 calls reporting multiple individuals shot during a private event at the nightclub, where approximately 90 people were in attendance.

According to the police, a group of three to four males approached the venue and proceeded to fire more than 30 shots in the direction of individuals waiting in line outside the event, ultimately hitting several vehicles in the vicinity.

The males ran westbound on 91st Street towards 143rd Place where they entered a light-colored sedan with out-of-state plates. Police said the shooting was “not a terrorist attack.”

The victims, six females and four males, were transported to area hospitals. None of the victims are in critical condition and are expected to survive. 

A massive police and ambulance response was seen outside the Amazura nightclub which has a capacity for 4,000 people and regularly hosts DJ’s and performances. 

The NYPD told Fox News that police are looking for a gray Infiniti sedan that fled the scene. 

The shooting capped off a violent New Year’s Day, which began with a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans that killed 15 people, and a Cybertruck explosion outside Trump Hotel in Las Vegas that killed one person.
