Charges are expected to be filed soon.<\/p>\n (Scroll down for video) — At approximately 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, four people — three men and a woman — were shot at Irving Plaza<\/a>, a concert hall in Lower Manhattan where rapper T.I. was set to perform. One of the victims has died. The conditions of the other three victims were unknown, NYPD Detective William Aubry said in a press conference.<\/p>\n No one is in custody, and police said they are looking for video of the incident. The concert had begun when the shooting took place, though T.I. hadn’t taken the stage.<\/p>\n Rappers Marino and Uncle Murda were performing, opening for T.I., when fans began stampeding toward the exits of the 1,025-person ballroom theater, NBC reported.<\/a><\/p>\n “Everybody was having a good time until everybody started running — that’s it,” a concertgoer told the station, wishing to remain anonymous. He also said that several fans fell during the rush to the exits.<\/p>\n Another concertgoer confirmed these reports.<\/p>\n “Right when he was about to go on I heard two gunshots, and right after, there was a stampede,” Ayo Fagbemi, a 21-year-old University of Pennsylvania student, told the New York Times. “There were at least three rounds, but after the second one was when people started running.”<\/p>\n
