NEW YORK — Ten young people were wounded in a mass shooting outside a Queens nightclub holding a “celebration of life” for a teen shot to death three months ago, police said Thursday.

At least three gunmen fired more than 30 shots at a crowd of about 15 people waiting outside the the Amazura concert hall at 144th Pl. near Archer Ave. hoping to get in about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday, cops said.

The 10 victims, six females and four males between 16 and 20 years old, were taken to various local hospitals, police said.

Most of the victims were shot in the legs as they scrambled for cover. One victim was shot in the arm and another suffered a graze wound to the back, cops said.

Many of the victims were found bleeding at the scene, waiting for ambulances. At least three showed up at Jamaica Hospital on their own seeking medical care.

As the gun smoke cleared, four young men, at least three of whom opened fire, ran off west on 91st St. and jumped into a gray Infiniti sedan with New Jersey plates, cops said. No arrests have been made.

The celebration of life event was being held in honor of Tea’Arion Mungo who was shot to death outside NYCHA’s Walt Whitman Houses in Brooklyn during a spate of October violence that claimed the lives of five teens in as many days, including a friend who played against Tea’Arion in local basketball tournaments.

The 11th grader, who attended George Westinghouse Career and Technical Education High School, was an aspiring electrician who played varsity basketball for the school’s team, the Warriors, relatives said in October.

On Wednesday night, friends gathered at the venue to celebrate what would have been Tea’Arion’s 17th birthday on New Year’s Day.

The basketball buddies were among five teens killed on consecutive days from Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.

“There’s zero tolerance for these senseless shootings, these horrible acts of violence on our streets,” NYPD Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said at an early Thursday press conference outside the Queens nightclub. “Those responsible for this crime will be apprehended and brought to justice.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if the shooters had been inside Amazura earlier.

Cops are trying to determine if the shooting was sparked by tensions between rival gangs.

“That’s one of the avenues we’re pursuing but it’s too early to determine right now,” Rivera said.

“An evening of celebration ended with senseless violence overnight at a venue in Queens,” Mayor Adams said Thursday. He said the shooting isn’t linked to any terror attacks like the one which occurred on New Year’s Day in New Orleans which left 14 people dead.

“There is no room for this criminal behavior in our city and we are determined to bring these dangerous individuals to justice and get illegal guns off our streets,” he added.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards also condemned the violence.

“Under no circumstance will we allow any example of gun violence in our borough to go unpunished,” Donovan said. “I’m confident that those who perpetrated this heinous act will be arrested and held accountable.”

A 19-year-old man from Pennsylvania visiting relatives near the club said his family thought what they heard was fireworks ringing in the new year.

“It was like really loud,” he said. “And then me and my cousin are thinking, ‘Wait, you think it could be what we’re thinking?’ And then maybe five minutes later we get a message on the Citizen app: Shooting. We heard the ambulances and the cops came really quickly. We all got really scared.”

The visitor said his relatives have heard gunfire before but he wasn’t used to it as an out-of-towner.

“They know this nightclub right here is always a lot of people there, like police presence every now and then,” he said. “So this is pretty much normal for them … It was pretty surprising for me.”

Another neighborhood visitor, Aspen Palmquist, 29, said he accidentally stepped in a pool of blood outside the club.

“We’re just enjoying our day when suddenly I just accidentally stepped in blood,” said Palmquist, who is visiting from Hawaii. “Evidently there was a shootout here last night. Kind of concerning, you know”

“We’re actually on vacation here for New Year’s and just kind of checking out the city today,” he added. “Not what I expected to see though.

“I guess this stuff’s real and I and it’s best that we find the people that did this but also work on, you know, loving each other and not focus so much on negativity and try to point out more of the good things in life.”

The nightclub can hold up to 4,000 people and usually holds DJ dance parties and raves. DJs who have performed there in the past include Felix Bizarre, Black Daddy, and DJ X-Dream.

“We are deeply saddened by the recent and unfortunate isolated incident that occurred,” Amazura’s management wrote on Instagram. “Our hearts go out to all those affected by this senseless act. We are working closely with law enforcement to ensure a thorough investigation and to help bring those responsible to justice.”

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
