10 people shot dead by multiple gunmen outside Queens nightclub; no arrests

NEW YORK – An active investigation was underway Thursday morning as police tried to track down three to four men who fired shots at a crowd in New York City.

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

More than 30 bullet marks could be seen on the street below and detectives searched the area.

A private event with around 90 people was taking place in the room when shots were fired at around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

Among the panicked crowd were six women and four men between the ages of 16 and 20 who were injured in the shooting.

The NYPD said it was a dangerous scene because about 30 shots were fired before the suspects escaped in a gray Infiniti with foreign license plates.

“Four men walked toward the venue, three to four men began shooting more than 30 times toward people outside the venue, striking multiple victims,” said NYPD Patrol Chief Philip Rivera. “There is zero tolerance for these senseless shootings, these acts of violence. Those responsible will be brought to justice.”

Police say it is not an act of terrorism and they are investigating whether the mass shooting may have been gang-related.

All injured victims are expected to survive.
