    New York City was rocked by another public shooting last night, one person killed and three more hurt as shots rang out before the start of a concert by rapper T.I.

    The shooting took place at Irving Plaza, inside the green room venue, during the performance of the opening act.

    There was panic amongst the 1 000 or so gathered patrons, with gunshots ringing out from the area near to the front of the stage.

    More below from the NY Post:

    “There were people blocking each other using each other as shields,” said Kirk Elphage, who was on the scene. “I was in the front of the stage . . . I was just trying to find an exit to get the hell out.”

    Among the victims was the acclaimed Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave, the first person shot, who was hit in the leg as he entered the green room, a source said.

    As people fled the room, the gunman also exited and started firing again, the source said.

    “We were standing around waiting for T.I. to come on,” said Rachael Pietrocola, of Harlem. “We heard gunshots and everybody started running.”

    Here’s a video showing that panic in the moments following the gunshots ringing out:

    Then this from the immediate aftermath:

    The shooter’s victim was shot in the chest, whilst another shot in the stomach remains in critical condition.

    A witness said that the shooting happened shortly after T.I. left the green room.

    “Two VIP rooms right next to each other,” the witness said. “T.I. leaves the VIP room before the shooting happened. Whatever went down, he had nothing to do with it.”

    It was not immediately clear what triggered the attack. The gunman was still at large early Thursday.

    That manhunt must be well and truly underway, and you can bet the 24-hour news channels are already filled with debates on America’s lax gun laws,
