I didn’t even have to look to see what kind of concert it was.

I’ll guess two rival bands happened to run in to each other and what comes naturally to that species came to pass.

Impossible, NYC has made is next to impossible to carry a firearm. How could this have happened? Why didn’t the criminals follow the law?

"A witness told PIX 11 that concertgoers weren’t searched when they entered the concert hall."

Always search Mozart and Bach fans before a concert!

Not the hood.

Manhattan's a big place. Got plenty of 'hoods. (Plenty of hoods, too.) Harlem; Spanish Harlem; Inwood; "Alphabet City" on the Lower East Side, which is foreign-hispanic; Hell's Kitchen (near Penn Station and the Port Authority bus terminal). And Greenwich Village and environs (such as Union Square) sometimes host events that attract a lot of hoods from 'hoods in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and bad parts of Mount Vernon and Yonkers.

Never heard of a shooting at a classical, celtic, country, blues, bluegrass, polka, punk, grunge, choral, opera, gospel, dubstep, doo-wop, ska, big band, trance, mariachi, swing or jazz concert. Fights at a rock concert are not uncommon, but I don’t recall any shootings.

Rap/hip-hop? It wouldn’t be that music with a shooting.
