SOUNDBITE (English) James Essig, NYPD Chief of Detectives:"At about 10:40 last evening, four males – two were on foot, two were in black scooters – they were all hooded and masked up. They turned eastbound on 37 street – 37th Avenue from 97th street. Two males immediately extend their arms and begin firing in the direction of a group in front of the barbershop down the street. There was a party going on at the restaurant just a few stores away. Ten people were shot, three of which are known Trinitario gang members. We believe there were seven unintended targets, which aged in range between 19 and 72. The most seriously shot was shot to the stomach and they were all expected to recover from their wounds. They were transported to various hospitals."++WHITE FLASH++2. SOUNDBITE (English) James Essig, NYPD Chief of Detectives:"This was, as I can most accurately describe it, is a brazen, coordinated attack for a lack of a better word."++WHITE FLASH++3. SOUNDBITE (English) James Essig, NYPD Chief of Detectives:"There's just one common theme I want to get out there that's a recurring theme that keeps happening and it has to stop throughout the city: that's gang members, that's guns— multiple guns on the scene – scooters being used, masks. And lastly, unintended targets getting hit. This is unacceptable on the streets of New York City and it has to stop."++EDIT ENDS ON A SOUNDBITE++STORYLINE:Two men strode up to a crowd outside a barbershop in the New York City borough of Queens and opened fire, wounding 10 people before fleeing on mopeds, police said Sunday morning.The shooting in the borough's Corona neighborhood took place just before 11 p.m. Saturday. The eight men and two women, who range in age from 19 to 72, were all hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police. The most seriously injured victim suffered a gunshot wound to the stomach, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said. Police said the two gunmen arrived at the scene on foot but left by jumping on the backs of two mopeds driven by two other men. All four were wearing hooded sweatshirts.Three of those shot were known members of the Trinitarios, a Dominican street gang, and were the intended targets, Essig told reporters during a briefing.A party was in progress at a restaurant a few doors down from the barbershop at the time of the shooting, he added."This was a brazen, coordinated attack, for lack of a better word," Essig said. "This is unacceptable, and it has to stop."No one was in custody as of Sunday morning, and police said they would be releasing still photos and video from the scene. ===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory. 10 shot in Queens by 2 men who fled on mopeds
