Several videos were shared claiming a mass shooting took place in Amazura, Queens on September 14, but these are old clips from 2025.
Several videos were shared online claiming there was a mass shooting at Amazura, Queens, in New York City on September 14. However, these videos are from 2025 and no reported shooting took place today.
Several unverified profiles shared a video showing massive police presence in Queens and claimed 11 people had been shot in a mass casualty event. However, the sharing of old news, especially when it comes to something as tragic as a mass shooting triggered massive anger online.
Old videos of Amazura, Queens shooting slammed
People sharing the old videos online were slammed by netizens.
“Old footage from a New Year's Day 2025 shooting outside Queens’ Amazura venue is circulating again falsely framed as a breaking mass casualty event. The original incident involved 10 teenagers wounded outside the hall rather than an active club rampage. Repurposing past gun violence for instant viral clout is reckless engagement farming at its worst. Unchecked re-uploads trigger unwarranted panic across local neighborhoods and burden emergency channels with false reports,” one wrote.
Notably, there is no mainstream media reportage about a shooting in Amazura today and the New York Police Department have also not sounded any alert over a mass shooting in Queens.
