A mass shooting at Amazura nightclub in Queens, New York, today, has left at least 11 people injured. This incident is part of a disturbing series of attacks in the US within the last 24 hours.
The incident reportedly took place at 11:20 pm (US time) as a large New Year’s crowd was leaving the area around Amazura nightclub.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) stated that none of the injured persons are in critical condition and all are expected to survive. The injured were transported to Long Island Jewish Hospital and Cohen’s Children’s Medical Centre for treatment. Details are still awaited, as the investigation continues to unfold in the third attack on the US in the last 24 hours.
This incident coincides with a deadly attack in New Orleans, where 15 people were killed and over 30 were injured after a vehicle drove into the crowd. The attacker, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was fatally shot during the confrontation with the police. He was an Army veteran from Texas who was reportedly influenced by the extremist ISIS group.
In a separate incident, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. The explosion resulted in one death and seven injuries, with authorities investigating the incident as a possible act of terrorism. Tesla CEO Elon Musk even suggested that the incident could be linked to the New Orleans terror attack.
