The New York Police Department (NYPD) has reassured the public that the shooting incident outside the Amazura nightclub in Jamaica, Queens on New Year's Day was not a terrorist attack. The incident occurred around 11:18 p.m. when officers received multiple 911 calls reporting several people shot at a private event.
According to police reports, three to four males approached the venue and opened fire over 30 times in the direction of a group standing in line outside the event, hitting multiple vehicles. The suspects then fled the scene in a light-colored sedan with out-of-state plates, heading westbound on 91st Street towards 143rd Place.
