The New York Police Department (NYPD) said the shooting outside a private event in Jamaica, Queens, on New Year's Day, was not a terrorist attack as tensions run high following such an incident in New Orleans on the same day.
10 people were injured in the attack, conducted by three or four men who opened fire at a group standing in line outside the event. Six women and four men, all aged between 16 and to, were struck by gunfire. None of them are in critical condition and all are expected to survive.
