10 people are wounded in a shooting at a memorial for a teenager who was killed in NYC
Associated PressNEW YORK — Ten people were wounded in a shooting Wednesday night outside a nightclub in New York City that was holding a memorial for a teenager who had been previously been killed in the city. Police said three or four men fired about 30 shots at a crowd of people who were standing outside Amazura Concert Hall in Jamaica, Queens, for the private event before running to a car and driving off. Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said the club was holding a small private event to celebrate the life of a teen who had been killed in Brooklyn late last year. Kathy Hochul said “a memorial for a teen lost to gun violence turned to horror when gunmen opened fire on the crowd.” “This cannot be our normal,” Hochul wrote. “I saw people screaming.” Amazura Concert Hall urged the public to contact police with any information about the shooting.
