sure win ph Shooting Outside Queens Event Space Injures 10

At least 10 people were injured in New York City late Wednesday night when three or four men fired about 30 bullets into a crowd, the police said.

The shooting took place outside an “upscale private event space” in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, Philip Rivera, the Police Department’s chief of patrol, told reporters. The address he gave matched that of the Amazura Concert Hall. About 90 people were inside the venue at the time, he said, and about 15 others were waiting in a line outside.

Chief Rivera said that three or four gunmen had fired toward the crowd as they approached the venue, striking several people, and then escaped in a car with out-of-state plates.

He said the victims, six women and four men whose ages ranged from about 16 to 20, were expected to recover. The police were not investigating the shooting as a terrorist attack, he added.

A New York Times photographer who arrived at the scene minutes after the shooting on Wednesday night saw shell casings on the street near the venue and a heavy police presence as people filed out of the space.
