MSNBC reporting now: 2 dead, 3 wounded.

I'm not familiar with NY, but the screen shot shows a green awning with the name "Darryl's" on it.

No other info available right now.

Update: 2 dead 2 injured, Amsterdam Ave. Manhunt in progress.

Udate #2: 4 men dead, one woman injured. Happened at Amasterdam and 83rd. May be drug related. All 4 men were DOA at hospital.

7. Thanks for the update.

MSNBC just corrected from 5 to 4, 2 dead, 2 injured (one critically). Looks like the critical victim must have died. Very sad.

Can't remember a multiple homicide in the city in a long time, but maybe I tune it all out.

It was in an apartment and not a random street shooting.

17. Not far from me either.

Are you at St. Luke's?
I think that's the hospital closest to the scene.

19. Stay safe.

MSNBC reporting a full scale manhunt underway.

[notesdev]

20. IIRC Amsterdam & 83rd not a cheap place to live

Story says this happened inside an apartment there... probably more to this than they will ever tell us.

21. Update:

MSNBC reporting one one the dead may have been the shooter. Not confirmed yet.
