BREAKING: Mass shooting in Queens leaves at least 10 people injured

By Dean Moses and Robert Pozarycki Posted on January 2, 2025



Police in Queens are investigating a reported mass shooting at a nightclub on Wednesday that has left at least 10 people wounded.

Law enforcement sources said the gunfire erupted near the Amazura event hall at 91-12 144th Place in Jamaica, within the confines of the 103rd Precinct, at about 11:20 p.m. on Jan. 1.

Sources familiar with the investigation said that the hall hosted a private party at the time of the shooting. The event apparently was in honor of a known gang member in the community slain last October whose birthday coincided with New Year’s Day.

As about 80 people gathered in front of Amazura waiting to get in Wednesday night, law enforcement sources said, two to three suspects walking eastbound along 144th Place approached and began firing indiscriminately at the crowd.............

Then he’ll blame President Biden.

But the gun violence will continue on and on.

And on.

And on.

Until there is meaningful regulation of firearms. That will NEVER happen though because America loves their guns.

There are two unsolvable problems: guns in the U.S. and the conflict between Israel and the Arab world. The smartest minds have not found solutions to either issue. I have no expectation that these problems will ever be resolved so there will be continuing violence.
