BREAKING: Mass shooting in Queens leaves at least 10 people injured
Police in Queens are investigating a reported mass shooting at a nightclub on Wednesday that has left at least 10 people wounded.
Law enforcement sources said the gunfire erupted near the Amazura event hall at 91-12 144th Place in Jamaica, within the confines of the 103rd Precinct, at about 11:20 p.m. on Jan. 1.
Sources familiar with the investigation said that the hall hosted a private party at the time of the shooting. The event apparently was in honor of a known gang member in the community slain last October whose birthday coincided with New Year’s Day.
As about 80 people gathered in front of Amazura waiting to get in Wednesday night, law enforcement sources said, two to three suspects walking eastbound along 144th Place approached and began firing indiscriminately at the crowd.
At least three individuals wounded in the shooting walked into a local hospital seeking treatment, sources familiar with the investigation said.
Numerous NYPD units have converged in the event hall area and established a large crime scene. As many as two suspects connected to the shooting are at large, according to reports on the Citizen app.
The Amazura event hall is located several blocks away from the Jamaica Long Island Rail Road station. Back in April 2024, two men were shot and wounded at the location.
NYPD officials are expected to provide updates on the mass shooting investigation early Thursday morning.
