1 dead, 3 wounded in shooting during rap concert in Manhattan

One person died, and three others were injured after gunshots were fired during a concert inside Irving Plaza in Manhattan.

Rapper TI was scheduled to perform on Wednesday night but Maino and Uncle Murda were on stage during the shooting. Many people panicked and evacuated the venue after shots rang out.

A 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 33-year-old man was also shot in the abdomen. A 26-year-old woman was also shot in the leg and a forth victim walked to the NYU medical center with a gunshot wound.

“It was about to go on. We saw, like, two people up on the VIP arguing, and then everybody started running because they heard the shots,” one woman told CBS New York. “It was terrifying. We just kept running with everybody else because they were running for their lives, so we just started running, and I fell, and I got stomped on a little bit. My shoe came off.”

One of the victims died from their injuries.

For security measures, Irving Plaza pats down their attendants and does use metal detectors, CBS New York reports.

No suspect has been arrested in the shooting, officials announced early Thursday morning.
