I didn’t even have to look to see what kind of concert it was.
Well, I am shocked!
Manhattan?
Not the hood.
Unlikeliest place for a mass shooting.
I’m shocked ....
Hip hop concert goers keeping it real????
Aspiring rappers and gunshot victims. Hmmm...
Imagine that! A shooting at a hip-hop show. How unusual!
Just “a regular part of the show”!
Those classical whackjobs are so violent.
Mozart and Bach gangs going at it again.
Ill guess two rival bands happened to run in to each other and what comes naturally to that species came to pass.
Impossible, NYC has made is next to impossible to carry a firearm. How could this have happened? Why didn’t the criminals follow the law?
Always search Mozart and Bach fans before a concert!
Not the hood.
Manhattan's a big place. Got plenty of 'hoods. (Plenty of hoods, too.) Harlem; Spanish Harlem; Inwood; "Alphabet City" on the Lower East Side, which is foreign-hispanic; Hell's Kitchen (near Penn Station and the Port Authority bus terminal). And Greenwich Village and environs (such as Union Square) sometimes host events that attract a lot of hoods from 'hoods in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and bad parts of Mount Vernon and Yonkers.
someone forgot to put up the Gun-Free zone signs.
So wait, it wasn’t a Duran Duran concert!?
I’m shocked!
Those guys have always been trouble.
Must not have seen the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7pGt_O1uM8
Yeah I’m terrified of people from Yonkers
Never heard of a shooting at a classical, celtic, country, blues, bluegrass, polka, punk, grunge, choral, opera, gospel, dubstep, doo-wop, ska, big band, trance, mariachi, swing or jazz concert. Fights at a rock concert are not uncommon, but I don’t recall any shootings.
Rap/hip-hop? It wouldn’t be that music with a shooting.
