A shocking incident of gun violence has left at least 11 people injured outside a concert venue in Queens, New York.
The attack took place near the Amazura Concert Hall located on 144th Street and Archer Avenue in the Jamaica neighborhood.
Emergency responders rushed to the scene, with ten ambulances dispatched to assist the victims.
Thankfully, none of the injured individuals are in critical condition, and all are expected to survive, according to the New York Police Department (NYPD).
The incident has added to the growing number of violent events in the United States. On the same day, a terrorist attack in New Orleans claimed the lives of at least 15 people.
The suspect in the New Orleans attack, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, allegedly drove an SUV into a crowd of people on Bourbon Street at around 3 a.m.
Chilling recordings of Jabbar surfaced, revealing his intentions to kill his family and join the terrorist group ISIS. FBI officials have stated that they believe Jabbar may not have acted alone and have called on the public for help in identifying any accomplices.
President Joe Biden has expressed his condolences to the families affected by the New Orleans attack, urging people not to “jump to conclusions.”
“To all the families of those who were killed, to all those who were injured, to all the people of New Orleans who are grieving today,
I want you to know I grieve with you,” President Biden said, recognizing the tragedy of the 15 lives lost.
While authorities have not yet revealed the identities of the victims in the New York shooting, some family members have started to speak out.
One of the victims, Nikyra Cheyenne Dedeaux, an 18-year-old woman, was out celebrating with her cousin when the shooting occurred.
As the day of violence continued, a separate tragic incident unfolded in Las Vegas. One person died, and seven others were injured when a Tesla vehicle caught fire and exploded outside President-elect Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed that the vehicle was loaded with fireworks and explosives. Authorities from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police and Clark County Fire Department provided updates, confirming that the person inside the vehicle was killed in the explosion.
Interestingly, the outer frame of the futuristic Cybertruck showed minimal damage, which meant most of the blast’s force was directed upward and outward.
The series of violent events left the nation in shock, with communities grieving and authorities working to uncover the full details of these incidents.
Investigations into both the Queens shooting and the New Orleans terrorist attack are ongoing, with law enforcement agencies focusing on finding answers and ensuring justice for the victims.
