Mass shooting outside New York nightclub injures 10

At least 10 people were injured in a shooting outside the Amazura nightclub in Queens, New York, on Wednesday night. While the incident is under investigation, the New York Police Department confirmed that none of the victims are in critical condition.

This shooting incident in Queens follows a deadly attack in New Orleans on New Year's Day, where a U.S. Army veteran drove his pickup truck into a crowd, killing 15 people and injuring many others.

A violent shooting erupted outside a nightclub in Queens, New York, on New Year's Day, leaving 10 people injured, according to police. The attack took place outside the Amazura nightclub in Jamaica at approximately 11:18 pm on Wednesday.
Authorities reported that a group of three to four men approached the venue and unleashed over 30 gunshots toward a crowd standing in line for an event, damaging vehicles and striking individuals.

The victims, six females and four males aged 16 to 20, were predominantly teenagers. Despite the severity of the incident, none of the injuries are life-threatening, and all victims are expected to recover, NYPD officials confirmed during a press briefing on Thursday.
The police are actively searching for a light-colored sedan believed to be connected to the shooting. Investigators emphasized that the incident was not linked to terrorism.
The Amazura nightclub, known for its vast 4,000-person capacity and frequent DJ and live performances, became the unfortunate scene of this violent act.
The incident coincided with a separate terror attack in New Orleans earlier that day, where 15 people lost their lives.

The parents had bought their son Ethan a handgun on Christmas, just days earlier the 15-year-old shot dead four students and injured seven others at Oxford High School in Detroit.

Parents of US school shooter sentenced to 10-15 years in prison

The parents had bought their son Ethan a handgun on Christmas, just days earlier the 15-year-old shot dead four students and injured seven others at Oxford High School in Detroit.

The parents of a teenager who carried out a deadly school shooting in the US state of Michigan were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison on Tuesday in an unprecedented and closely watched case.
Jennifer Crumbley and her husband James -- who bought their son the gun as a Christmas present -- were the first parents of a school shooter to be convicted of manslaughter in the United States for the actions of their child.
Oakland County Judge Cheryl Matthews sentenced them to 10 to 15 years in prison each with credit for the 28 months they have already spent behind bars.
Their son Ethan, who is now 17, is serving a life sentence for the November 30, 2021 shooting which left four students dead and seven other people injured at Oxford High School, 45 miles (70 kilometers) north of Detroit.
"These convictions are not about poor parenting," Matthews said at an emotional hearing in Pontiac, Michigan, attended by relatives of the victims. "These convictions confirm repeated acts, or lack of acts, that could have halted an oncoming runaway train."
The judge admonished James Crumbley for allowing "unfettered access" to guns and ammunition in the family home and told Jennifer Crumbley her attitude towards her son was "dispassionate and apathetic."
Addressing the Crumbleys in court before sentencing, Nicole Beausoleil, the mother of Madisyn Baldwin, 17, one of the slain students, said: "Not only did your son kill my daughter but you both did as well."
"The blood of our children is on your hands," said Craig Shilling, the father of Justin Shilling, 17.
Steve St. Juliana, the father of another victim, Hana St. Juliana, 14, said her murder "has destroyed a large portion of my very soul."
"I will never walk her down the aisle," St. Juliana said. "I am forever denied the chance to hold her or her future children in my arms."
Multiple warning signs
Before the judge pronounced the sentence, the Crumbleys addressed the families of the victims and the court.
"I stand today not to ask for your forgiveness as I know it may be beyond reach but to express my sincerest apologies for the pain that has been caused," Jennifer Crumbley, 46, said. "I will be in my own internal prison for the rest of my life."
James Crumbley, 47, told the families he was "sorry for your loss as a result of what my son did."
"I cannot express how much I wish that I had known what was going on with him or what was going to happen, because I absolutely would have done a lot of things differently," he said.
During separate trials, the Crumbleys were accused of ignoring warnings that their son had mental health struggles.
Jennifer Crumbley said her husband bought their son the 9mm SIG Sauer handgun he used in the attack just days earlier as an early Christmas present.
She took the boy to a shooting range the day after the purchase.
The Crumbleys were summoned to the school on the day of the shooting itself after a teacher became alarmed by a violent drawing she found on Ethan's desk.
They were shown the drawing and advised they needed to get the boy into counseling. The parents allegedly resisted taking their son home and he returned to class.
He later entered a bathroom, emerged with the gun which had been concealed in his backpack and fired more than 30 shots.
Amid a huge number of deadly firearms incidents involving young people in the United States, pressure has been mounting to punish parents who make it possible for their children to get weapons.
The father of an Illinois man accused of killing seven people in July 2022 pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of "reckless conduct" for helping his son obtain the rifle used in the mass shooting.
A Virginia woman whose six-year-old son shot and severely wounded his teacher was recently sentenced to two years in prison for felony child neglect. She received an additional 21 months in prison after pleading guilty to illegally obtaining the firearm.

Latest sports celebration in the US marred by gun violence, following a shooting last year in Denver after the Nuggets' winning an NBA championship, and gunfire at a parking lot near the Texas Rangers' World Series championship parade.

Latest sports celebration in the US marred by gun violence, following a shooting last year in Denver after the Nuggets' winning an NBA championship, and gunfire at a parking lot near the Texas Rangers' World Series championship parade.&nbsp;

Eight children were among 22 people hit by gunfire in a shooting at the end of Wednesday's parade to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win, authorities said, as terrified fans ran for cover and yet another high-profile public event was marred by gun violence. One person was killed.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves detailed the shooting's toll at a news conference and said three people had been taken into custody. She said she had heard that fans may have been involved in apprehending a suspect but couldn't immediately confirm that.
"I'm angry at what happened today. The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment." Graves said. Police did not immediately release any details about the people taken into custody or about a possible motive for the shootings.
It is the latest sports celebration in the US marred by gun violence, following a shooting last year in downtown Denver after the Nuggets' winning an NBA championship that injured several people, and gunfire last year at a parking lot near the Texas Rangers' World Series championship parade.
Social media users posted shocking videos of police running through a crowded scene as people in attendance hurriedly scrambled for cover and ran away. One video showed someone apparently performing chest compressions on a shooting victim as another person, seemingly writhing in pain, lay on the ground nearby. People screamed in the background.
Another video showed two onlookers chasing and tackling someone, holding that person down until two police officers arrived.
Kansas City has long struggled with gun violence, and in 2020 it was among nine cities targeted by the US Justice Department to crack down on violent crime. In 2023 the city matched a record with 182 homicides, most of which involved guns.
Mayor Quinton Lucas has joined with mayors across the country in calling for new laws to reduce gun violence, including mandating universal background checks.
Lucas, who attended the celebration with his wife and mother, said he was heartbroken and angry.
&ldquo;This is absolutely a tragedy, the likes of which we never would have expected in Kansas City, the likes of which we'll remember for some time,&rdquo; Lucas said.
Lisa Money of Kansas City, Kansas, was trying to gather some confetti near the end of the parade when she heard somebody yell, &ldquo;Down, down, everybody down!&rdquo; At first Money thought somebody might be joking until she saw the SWAT team jumping over the fence.
&ldquo;I can't believe it really happened. Who in their right mind would do something like this? This is supposed to be a day of celebration for everybody in the city and the surrounding area. and then you've got some idiot that wants to come along and do something like this,&rdquo; she said.
Kevin Sanders, 53, of Lenexa, Kansas, said he heard what sounded like firecrackers and then people running. After that initial flurry, calm returned, and he didn't think much of it. But he said 10 minutes later, ambulances started showing up.
&ldquo;It sucks that someone had to ruin the celebration, but we are in a big city,&rdquo; Sanders said.
University Health spokeswoman Nancy Lewis said the hospital was treating eight gunshot victims. Two were in critical condition and six were in stable condition, she said. The hospital also was treating four people for other injuries resulting from the chaos after the shooting, Lewis said.
Lisa Augustine, spokesperson for Children's Mercy Kansas City, said the hospital was treating 12 patients from the rally, including 11 children, some of whom suffered gunshot wounds.
St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas City received one gunshot patient in critical condition and three walk-in patients with injuries that were not life-threatening, spokesperson Laurel Gifford said.
&ldquo;When you have these many casualties, it's going to get spread out among a lot of hospitals so that you don't overwhelm any single ER,&rdquo; she said.
Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder said he was with coach Andy Reid and other coaches and staff members at the time of the shooting, and that the team was on buses and returning to Arrowhead Stadium.
&ldquo;Praying for Kansas City,&rdquo; Chiefs quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes said in a post on X that also included three emojis of hands in prayer.
Missouri's Republican Gov. Mike Parson and First Lady Teresa Parson were at the parade during the gunfire but were unhurt. &ldquo;Thanks to the professionalism of our security officers and first responders, Teresa and I and our staff are safe and secure,&rdquo; Parson said in a statement.
President Joe Biden has been briefed on the shooting in Kansas City and will continue to receive updates, a White House spokesperson said. White House officials have been in touch with state and local leaders, and federal law enforcement is on the scene supporting local law enforcement.
Areas that had been filled with crowds were empty after the shooting, with police and firefighters standing and talking behind an area restricted by yellow tape.
Throngs had lined the route, with fans climbing trees and street poles, or standing on rooftops for a better view. Players rolled through the crowd on double-decker buses, DJs and drummers heralding their arrival. Owner Clark Hunt was on one of those buses, holding the Lombardi Trophy.
The city and the team each chipped in around USD1 million for the event commemorating Travis Kelce, Mahomes and the Chiefs becoming the first team since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots two decades ago to defend their title.
After decades without a championship, the city is gaining experience with victory parades. Five seasons ago, the Chiefs defeated the 49ers for the team's first Super Bowl championship in 50 years. That followed the Kansas City Royals winning the World Series in 2015, the city's first baseball championship in 30 years. That year, fans abandoned their cars on the side of the highway so they could walk to the celebration.
Then, last year, the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 and prophetically vowed they would be back for more.&nbsp;

14 killed, 25 injured as student opens fire at Prague university

As many as 14 people were killed and about 25 injured after a student opened fire at a university in Prague. It is being said to be the worst mass shooting incident in the country's history.

A student opened fire Thursday at a university in Prague, killing at least 14 people, officials said, and injuring more than 20 in the Czech Republic's worst mass shooting.
The bloodshed took place in the philosophy department building of Charles University, where the shooter was a student, Prague Police Chief Martin Vondrasek said. The gunman also died, authorities said. His name has not been released.
Vondrasek said in the evening that 14 people had died and 25 were injured, after earlier reporting that 15 had died and 24 were hurt. He didn't explain the change. Authorities warned that the death toll could rise.
Police gave no details about the victims or a possible motive for the shooting at the building located near the Vltava River in Jan Palach Square. Czech Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said investigators do not suspect a link to any extremist ideology or groups.
Vondrasek said police believe the gunman killed his father earlier Thursday in his hometown of Hostoun, just west of Prague, and that he had also been planning to kill himself. He didn't elaborate.
Later Thursday, Vondrasek said that based on a search of his home, the gunman was also suspected in the killing of another man and his 2-month-old daughter Dec. 15, in Prague.
The chief described the shooter as an excellent student with no criminal record, but didn't provide any other information.
The gunman suffered &ldquo;devastating injuries&rdquo; but it wasn't clear if he killed himself or was shot to death in an exchange of gunfire with officers, Vondrasek said, adding that there was "nothing to suggest that he had an accomplice.&rdquo; The shooter legally owned several guns &mdash; police said he was heavily armed Thursday and was carrying a lot of ammunition &mdash; and that what he did was &ldquo;well thought out, a horrible act,&rdquo; Vondrasek said.
University authorities said they would tighten security in university buildings with immediate effect.
&ldquo;We mourn the loss of life of members of our university community, express our deepest condolences to all the bereaved and our thoughts are with all those affected by the tragedy,&rdquo; Charles University said in a statement.
The building where the shooting took place is near the Vltava River in Jan Palach Square, a busy tourist area in Prague's Old Town. It is just a few minutes' walk from the picturesque Old Town Square, a major tourist attraction where a popular Christmas market attracts thousands of visitors.
The government quickly sought to quell concerns that the massacre was back by foreign interests.
&ldquo;There's no indication that it has anything to do with international terrorism,&rdquo; Rakusan said.
&ldquo;It's a horrible crime, something the Czech Republic has never experienced,&rdquo; he said.
Pavel Nedoma, the director of the nearby Rudolfinum Gallery, said he watched from a window as a person standing on a balcony of the building fired a gun.
Authorities evacuated everyone from the building and police said they were still searching the area, including the balcony, for explosives.
The building forms part of the square and faces a bridge across the river with a view of Prague Castle, the seat of the Czech presidency. President Petr Pavel said he was &ldquo;shocked&rdquo; by what happened and offered his condolences to the relatives of the victims, as did leaders of Germany, France and Slovakia, the European Union and Israel.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sent a message of condolence.
&ldquo;The president and the first lady are praying for the families who lost loved ones and everyone else who has been affected by this senseless act of violence,&rdquo; Jean-Pierre said. &ldquo;On behalf of the United States, we send our condolences and also wish the survivors of this tragic event a speedy recovery.&rdquo; The Czech government declared Saturday a national day of mourning to honor the shooting victims, Prime Minister Petr Fiala said.
Previously, the nation's worst mass shooting was in 2015, when a gunman opened fire in the southeastern town of Uhersky Brod, killing eight before fatally shooting himself.
On Thursday, where tourists, students and others would normally be enjoying the view of the iconic monument, chaos and terror instead took hold. Police vehicles and ambulances sped across the bridge with their sirens wailing. Officers sealed off the empty square.
Some video footage showed people being evacuated from the building and others trying to hide behind a wall.
Ivo Havranek, a diving instructor, said he was near the building when he heard a shot ring out, but he didn't quite believe that was what he had heard.
&ldquo;Only at the moment when I saw the fully equipped riot police with bulletproof vests and shields, it looked to me that I had found myself in a movie," Havranek said. "But it was obvious that nobody was shooting a movie."

&ldquo;I've been here 34 years, and I can tell you I have never worked an event where this many people were shot at one time, ever,&rdquo; Taylor said.
A crowd of people were gathered along a residential street when a dark-blue sedan rolled by, police said. Shooters fired from the windows before the car sped away. Officers were actively searching for the vehicle and the shooters Monday night, officials said.
Taylor said investigators believe the shooting was a targeted attack.
Police said marijuana was found at the scene of the shooting, and investigators believe drug sales were taking place.

Sights of despair, comments from leaders and laments on social media are all becoming painfully familiar in the United States of America. With over 200 incidents of mass shooting in 2022 alone, America’s gun culture has left a lasting and traumatic impact on the country.
The mass shooting at an elementary school in rural Texas where a gunman opened fire taking the life of 19 children and 2 adults is the latest in a horrific series of mass shootings to take place in the country. The suspected shooter, 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, was gunned down by police on the spot.

Federal law requires that licensed gun dealers conduct a background check, through a database run by the F.B.I., to see if the customer is among those prohibited from owning a gun. The law also says that anyone adjudicated by a court or other authority to have a mental illness cannot be sold a gun. However, many point to loopholes in this system: - Records through which background checks are conducted are not updated - Most people with serious mental illnesses never receive such a legal status - Small-scale sellers, including many who do business at gun shows, are not required to do background checks
Apart from federal laws, each state in America has its own set of guidelines on the use and purchase of arms.

What do the numbers say? these numbers aren't the only shocking ones, the US has the highest civilian gun ownership globally. Four-in-ten U.S. adults say they live in a household with a gun. In 2020 alone, more than 45,000 Americans died by gun fire, of which 54% were deaths by suicide. Studies have found that strong relationship between higher levels of gun ownership in a state and higher firearm suicide rates for both men and women. US rate of deaths from gun violence: 3.96 deaths per 100,000 people.
Gun violence and race issues: The attack on the Texas school comes just 10 days after another horrifying and racially motivated mass shooting case in Buffalo, New York.

The latest incident comes just days after an Independence Day parade on 4 July turned bloody in Chicago. At least 7 people were killed and over 30 injured in the shooting.
Earlier, mass shootings at a school in Uvalde, Texas, and a supermarket in New York had shocked the nation, leading to a fresh debate on gun laws.

A white 18-year-old wearing military gear and livestreaming with a helmet camera opened fire with a rifle at a supermarket in Buffalo, killing 10 people and wounding three others Saturday in what authorities described as "racially-motivated violent extremism".
The gunman wore body armour and military-style clothing during the attack on mostly Black shoppers and workers at Tops Friendly Market. For at least two minutes, he broadcast the shooting live on the streaming platform Twitch before the service ended his transmission.
Police said he shot 11 Black victims and two who were white before surrendering to police. Later, he appeared before a judge in a paper medical gown and was arraigned on murder charges.
"It is my sincere hope that this individual, this white supremacist who just perpetrated a hate crime on an innocent community, will spend the rest of his days behind bars. And heaven help him in the next world as well," said Governor Kathy Hochul, speaking near the scene of the attack.
The suspected gunman was identified as Payton Gendron, of Conklin, New York, about 200 miles (320 kilometres) southeast of Buffalo.
It was not immediately clear why Gendron travelled to Buffalo to stage the assault. A clip apparently from his Twitch feed, posted on social media, showed him arriving at the supermarket in his car.
The gunman shot four people outside the store, three fatally, said Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia. Inside the store, a security guard who was a retired Buffalo police officer fired multiple shots, but a bullet that hit the gunman's bulletproof vest had no effect, Gramaglia added.
The gunman then killed the guard, the commissioner said, then stalked through the store shooting other victims.
"This is the worst nightmare that any community can face, and we are hurting and we are seething right now," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said at the news conference. "The depth of pain that families are feeling and that all of us are feeling right now cannot even be explained." Police entered the store and confronted the gunman in the vestibule.
"At that point the suspect put the gun to his own neck," Gramaglia said. Two officers talked him into dropping the gun, the commissioner said.
At the earlier news briefing, Erie County Sheriff John Garcia pointedly called the shooting a hate crime.
"This was pure evil. It was straight up racially-motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community, outside of the City of Good neighbours.... Coming into our community and trying to inflict that evil upon us," Garcia said.
Witnesses Braedyn Kephart and Shane Hill, both 20, pulled into the parking lot just as the shooter was exiting. They described a white male in his late teens or early twenties sporting full camo, a black helmet and what appeared to be a rifle.
"He was standing there with the gun to his chin. We were like what the heck is going on? Why does this kid have a gun to his face?" Kephart said. He dropped to his knees. "He ripped off his helmet, dropped his gun, and was tackled by the police." Tops Friendly Markets released a statement saying, "We are shocked and deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families." The shooting came little more than a year after a March 2021 attack at a King Soopers grocery in Boulder, Colorado, that killed 10 people. Investigators have not released any information about why they believe the man charged in that attack targeted the supermarket.
NAACP President Derrick Johnson issued a statement in which he called the Buffalo shooting "absolutely devastating".
"Our hearts are with the community and all who have been impacted by this terrible tragedy. Hate and racism have no place in America. We are shattered, extremely angered and praying for the victims' families and loved ones," he added.
The Rev. Al Sharpton called on the White House to convene a meeting with Black, Jewish and Asian leaders "to underscore the Federal government (is) escalating its efforts against hate crimes".
At the White House, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Joe Biden was receiving regular updates on the shooting and the investigation and had offered prayers with the first lady for the victims and their loved ones.
"The president has been briefed by his Homeland Security advisor on the horrific shooting in Buffalo, NY, this afternoon. He will continue to receive updates throughout the evening and tomorrow as further information develops," she said.
Attorney General Merrick Garland was briefed on the shooting, Justice Department spokesperson Anthony Coley said.
More than two hours after the shooting, Erica Pugh-Mathews was waiting outside the store, behind police tape.
"We would like to know the status of my aunt, my mother's sister. She was in there with her fiancé, they separated and went to different aisles," she said. "A bullet barely missed him. He was able to hide in a freezer but was not able to get to my aunt and does not know where she is. We just would like word either way if she is okay."
