A group of four men fired at least 30 gunshots into a crowd that gathered near the Amazura nightclub in Jamaica in Queens just before 11:20 pm on Wednesday local time (3.20am AET Thursday) after a private event at the location, according to cops and the sources cited by The NY Post.

Six females and four males, ranging in age from 16 to 20, were struck by bullets, NYPD officials said at a Thursday morning press conference.

None of the victims are in critical condition and all are expected to survive, according to the NYPD.
