Queens mass shooting leaves 10 teens wounded outside NYC event space, police say
NEW YORK - A mass shooting in Jamaica, Queens left 10 teenagers hurt when police say several suspects opened fire outside a venue.
It happened just after 11:15 p.m. on New Year's Day outside the Amazura Concert Hall on 144th Place.
Police are now searching for four male suspects who fired into a crowd of about 15 people standing outside the event space.
According to police, about 90 people were inside at a private event space upstairs. The venue was at capacity, and a line of about 15 people were waiting outside.
Police say that's when four men walking down 91st Avenue approached the crowd and fired about 30 rounds. They then ran toward 143rd Place, where they got in a light colored sedan with out-of-state plates.
"Officers responded to the multiple 911 calls and found a total of 10 victims -- six females, four males -- who were taken to area hospitals. All of the victims are expected to recover with non-life-threatening injuries," NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera told reporters overnight.
The street was crowded with ambulances waiting to rush the victims to local hospitals. They range in age from 16 to 19 years old and are all expected to survive their injuries.
Six were taken to the Jamaica Hospital Trauma Center with injuries ranging from gunshot wounds to the leg, foot, arm and buttocks, to graze wounds to the back. The other four are being treated at New York-Presbyterian Queens, Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Cohen Children's Medical Center.
Police say they are also actively canvassing local medical centers for any unaccounted for gunshot victims related to this incident.
Investigators say the public has been instrumental in helping them solve high-profile crimes in recent weeks, and they hope the public will once again help them catch the suspects in this case.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or 1-888-57-PISTA (74782) for Spanish. You can also submit a tip via their website. All calls are kept confidential.

10 people injured in New York City shooting incident, NYPD says
Jan 2 (Reuters) - Ten people were injured in a mass shooting in the New York City borough of Queens late on New Year's Day, the New York Police Department said in a news briefing early on Thursday.
The injured in the incident outside a private events club late on Wednesday evening included six females and four males and all were expected to recover, police said.
The incident occurred when 3-4 males opened fire toward a crowd outside the club, the NYPD said. Users took to social media expressing shock at the incident and sharing pictures of police deployment at the site.
Police ruled out the possibility of a terrorist attack.
The incident came hours after two other acts of violence elsewhere in the U.S. on New Year's Day. In New Orleans, a truck plowed into a street crowded with New Year's revelers, killing 15 people, and in Las Vegas a Tesla truck exploded outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring seven.
U.S. authorities were scrambling to track down suspects related to the New Orleans and Las Vegas incidents and also investigating possible terrorism angles.
