10 people injured in shooting in New York City
Ten people were injured in a mass shooting in the Queens borough of New York City late on New Year's Day, the New York Police Department said at a press conference on the morning of January 2.
Those injured in the incident outside a private event club late on January 1 included six women and four men and all are expected to recover, police said.
The New York Police Department said the incident occurred when three or four men opened fire on a crowd outside the club. Many people took to social media to express shock at the incident and share photos of police at the scene. Police have ruled out the possibility of this being a terrorist attack.
The incident came just hours after two other violent incidents elsewhere in the United States on New Year's Day. In New Orleans, a truck plowed into a street crowded with New Year's revelers, killing 15 people, and in Las Vegas, a Tesla exploded outside a Trump hotel in Las Vegas, killing one person and injuring seven.
US authorities are trying to track down suspects involved in the incidents in New Orleans and Las Vegas, and are investigating possible links to terrorism./.
