A 40-year-old mother was one of six people shot in a New York City convenience store when she was used as a shield by a suspected target, authorities said.

Ten people – including some minors – who were waiting in line for a private event at a nightclub in Jamaica, Queens, were injured late Wednesday night in an apparent drive-by shooting, New York City police officials said.

The shooting took place outside an “upscale private event space” in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, Philip Rivera, the Police Department’s chief of patrol, told reporters. The address he gave matched that of the Amazura Concert Hall. About 90 people were inside the venue at the time, he said, and about 15 others were waiting in a line outside.
