A wild scene erupted outside a party in Queens overnight where bullets flew across a neighborhood street between a group of suspects, partygoers and police who were stationed nearby the house at the center of the commotion.
The NYPD said a team of plainclothes officers were observing the block Springfield Gardens in an unmarked car when four suspects arrived and began opening fire in the direction of the house party, where investigators estimate 75 to 100 people were in attendance.
An unknown number of people at the party on 130th Avenue returned fire moments before the officers exited their vehicle and engaged the suspects, firing a total of 14 shots, according to NYPD officials. "Earlier this evening, about 11:35 p.m., members of our Violent Crime Squad were in the vicinity," Chief of Patrol Jeff Maddrey said."They were observing a party in the area and they were observing this party because they believed that there was potential to be violence involving some of the local street crews."
