5 Shot At Rose Lounge, NYPD Suspends Queens Club's License
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A Queens nightclub has had its licenses suspended again after a late night shooting injured five people.
Police say a man and four women were struck by gunfire at the Rose Lounge in Richmond Hill around 4 a.m. Saturday morning.
An argument between club goers reportedly turned violent and one of the guests starting firing. Authorities say all of the victims were taken an area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The gunman is still on the run.
According to reports, the club has been hotspot for trouble since it opened at the beginning of 2018.
