Police say three or four gunmen opened fire on about 15 young people waiting to enter Amazura club in Queens. Ten people were wounded in a shooting outside a New York City nightclub late on Wednesday night while they were waiting to get into a private event, police said.
About 15 people were standing outside Amazura nightclub at 11.15pm on Wednesday in the Jamaica neighborhood of the city’s Queens borough when four men on foot approached the group of 16- to 20-year-olds. Three or four men opened fire on the group, the New York police department’s chief of patrol, Philip Rivera, said during a news conference early on Thursday morning.
The police believe about 30 shots were fired before the gunmen fled on foot. They were then seen getting into a sedan with out-of-state plates. There was “zero tolerance for these senseless shootings”, Rivera said. Six females and four males were taken to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, he said.
