T.I.‘s Irving Plaza show in New York
City ended when shots were fired at the popular venue last night (May 25)
during the rapper’s concert.
BREAKING: T.I. New
York Show Erupts In Gunfire; 1 Dead, 3 Wounded
Fans waited for more than two hours
for T.I. to hit the stage, with PNB Rock performing three songs between time.
But a packed Irving Plaza descended into chaos as concertgoers fled to the
nearest exits after an unknown shooter began to fire his weapon repeatedly
backstage. Multiple rounds echoed throughout the venue as stampedes attempted
to flee the building. Unable to exit, many people found themselves trapped on
the floor with the shooter because it was too crowded to move.
Eventually, the gunshots ceased as
hundreds of fans made their way onto the street, flooding the Union Square
neighborhood. But another shot was heard from inside Irving Plaza. Ultimately
one man was left dead and three people wounded.
It’s not confirmed whether or not the
Atlanta rapper played any role in last night’s incidents, but an alleged member
of his entourage grabbed the mic during the chaos to let the crowd know,
“Someone done f—ed it up for everybody.” Fire trucks, several ambulance and
multiple marked and unmarked NYPD vehicles surround the venue and neighboring
blocks in minutes. The shooter seemingly escaped arrest; leaving the venue
before the police arrived. The NYPD proceeded to canvas lower Manhattan in an
effort to capture the gunman. Accoding to the New York Times, a spokesman for the NYPD said one of the Men arrived at New York University Medical Center on his own. The motives for the shooting is unclear and no arrests have been made as of Wednesday night.
