A shooting occurred outside a Queens nightclub during a private event, resulting in 10 people being shot, all of whom are expected to survive. The New York Police Department is investigating if the incident is gang-related, but there is no connection to terrorism. The shooting took place when three to four gunmen, believed to be in their teens or early 20s, opened fire on a group outside the club, firing about 30 shots. Despite roughly 90 people being inside the club, only those standing outside were struck. No arrests have been made, but the NYPD is determined to apprehend those responsible for the violent act. This incident comes shortly after a tragic event on New Year’s Day, where a 42-year-old allegedly drove a truck into a crowd in New Orleans, killing 15 people and injuring many others in what authorities believe was an act of terror. The suspect was killed in a shootout with police at the scene, highlighting the need for increased vigilance and security measures to prevent such senseless acts of violence in the future.
