1 person is dead and at least 3 more have been wounded after shooting broke out at a T.I. concert in New York City earlier today (Australian time).

The shooting occurred inside Irving Plaza, mere moments before T.I. was scheduled to take the stage. Witnesses reported seeing a fight the originated backstage spill onto the venue’s stage area, before a second brawl spilled out from the backstage area onto the venue floor. Shortly thereafter, shots rang out sending the packed club scattering.
Irving Plaza has a capacity of 1,025 people. Though it’s unknown how many people were inside the building at the time of the shooting, estimates claim at least 1,000 people were inside.
3 men and 1 women suffered gunshot wounds in the chaos. One of the men reportedly died as a result of the injuries sustained.
Videos posted to social media from inside the club show absolute mayhem as punters scramble for the building’s exits.

Witnesses at the scene reported that club security did not search patrons as they filed into the venue for the show, which is standard for shows elsewhere in the US and New York in particular.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the crew of rapper Troy Ave was at least involved in the initial scuffle, and that the shots rang down from the balcony area to the ground floor.

NYPD officers and officials have cordoned off the area. No suspect has been apprehended at the time of writing.
