NEW YORK — Ten people were injured in a shooting Wednesday night outside a music venue in New York City that was holding a memorial for a teenager who was killed in Brooklyn late last year, The Associated Press reports.
Police told The AP three or four men fired about 30 shots at the 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.
Six females and four males between the ages of 16 and 20 were taken to hospitals but are expected to recover, police confirmed to The AP.
“They just wanted to cause destruction,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said of the shooters.
A massive police presence and several ambulances could be seen outside Amazura in footage posted on social media on Thursday.
Authorities do not believe this was an act of terrorism.
