Two Men Shot Outside NYC Gay Dance

Details are sketchy so far, but local NYC news is reporting that two men were shot at 4:30am this morning outside Chelsea’s M2 Ultralounge, which is hosting the annual post-Black Party event Alegria Extreme. One man was shot in the foot and the other was shot in the leg as both patrons stood in the club’s outside smoking area. The men were taken the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police have not made an arrest and did not speculate as to whether the shooting may have been a hate crime. On most nights, M2 hosts straight dance parties.
