[NY Post] No descriptions? I think we know what that means
At least 10 people, mainly teenagers, were injured in a mass shooting outside a nightclub in Queens on Wednesday night, according to sources and the NYPD.
A group of four men fired at least 30 gunshots into a crowd that gathered near the Amazura nightclub in Jamaica just before 11:20 p.m. after a private event at the location, according to cops and the sources.
Six females and four males, ranging in age from 16 to 20, were struck by bullets, NYPD officials said at a Thursday morning press conference.
Police are searching for a light colored sedan in connection with the shooting.
None of the victims are in critical condition and all are expected to survive, according to the NYPD.

[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] A Georgia state judge has taken his own life inside his courtroom.
The body of Judge Stephen Yekel was discovered inside Effingham County State Court on Tuesday morning. He is believed to have shot himself dead.
Yekel, 74, had recently lost a bid for re-election and was found by a deputy on what would have been his last day on the bench, WSAV reports.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is now probing the horrific incident.
Effingham County Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie said Yekel was discovered around 10am, but it appeared he had shot himself late Monday night or early Tuesday.
Yekel was appointed to the state court in 2022. He had tried to resign from his position, but was prevented from doing so by Governor Brian Kemp.
McDuffie said he understood Yekel had sent a note to the Governor's office regarding the resignation, but did not disclose its contents.
'The Effingham County Board of Commissioners and staff are deeply saddened by the tragic death of Judge Steve Yekel at the Effingham County Courthouse today and we offer our condolences to his family and loved ones,' a statement from the county read.
Father-of-four Yekel was a former assistant district attorney in Chatham County and practicing lawyer with more than 45 years of experience.
He previously held roles as a special agent with the state's Alcohol & Tobacco Tax Unit and was an investigator at the Cobb County District Attorney's Office.
Yekel's resignation letter to Governor Kemp cites his disappointment with low turnout for the election he lost. In the event a judge resigns, a new one would be appointed by the Governor rather than voted in.
Yekel wrote the position is, 'too important to be decided by only 6% of eligible voters'.
But Kemp rejected the resignation request, stating he wishes to maintain, 'respect for the will of the people of Effingham County.'
In May, Yekel's ex-wife Lisa Yekel shared a post on Facebook which outlined several issues reportedly plaguing his re-election campaign.
She dismissed rumors their divorce the year before was due to infidelity and denied that he had asked a police officer not to give him a citation following a car accident.

[Regnum] Lightning strikes struck the US Capitol building and the monument to the first American president George Washington in the capital of the United States. This was reported by The Washington Post.
This happened before the New Year. Footage of the event appeared on the Internet.
Journalists note that the strikes apparently hit the Capitol dome and the top of the monument. In addition, lightning also struck the Empire State Building in New York.

[Regnum] A weak magnetic storm is observed on Earth on January 1, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, reportedin the Telegram channel “Weather from the Chief.”
He noted that at 07:58 Moscow time, the Kr index, which reflects the level of disturbance of the planet's magnetosphere, reached five units. This means that a weak magnetic storm, class G1, has begun.
“According to forecasts, the magnetic storm will not intensify and will remain in the weak gradation, and will most likely end no later than midday,” Leus wrote.
On the evening of December 31, the geomagnetic field entered a slightly disturbed state, due to which the northern lights were observed in some regions of Russia, the forecaster added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of December 30, specialists recorded two powerful solar flares. Disturbances of the highest X-ray class were observed at 7:14 and 7:31 Moscow time in the western part of the solar disk. In connection with the powerful solar activity, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences predicted magnetic storms on Earth on December 31 and January 1.
The magnetic storm that engulfed the Earth reached level G3, which is classified on a five-point scale as “strong.” This was reported on January 1 by the Institute of Applied Geophysics.
Information from the institution's representatives is provided by TASS. Disturbances in the geomagnetic field of such intensity can provoke failures in the functioning of power equipment. In particular, magnetic storms of G3 can lead to false triggering of safety systems or lead to overheating of oil transformers.
In addition, problems with satellite systems and radio communications are possible. Residents of mid-latitudes may observe the polar lights in the sky during G3 storms.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of December 29, a powerful X-class flare occurred on the Sun. Scientists stated that they had been observing an increase in the activity of this celestial body for about a week. During this time, the number of solar flares almost doubled.
On the morning of December 30, specialists registered two more powerful solar flares. Class X disturbances were recorded at 07:14 and 07:31 Moscow time in the western part of the solar disk. The solar astronomy laboratory of the IKI RAS warned of magnetic storms on Earth on December 31 and January 1.
On the morning of January 1, leading specialist at the Phobos weather center Mikhail Leus reported that a magnetic storm of class G1 (“weak”) was observed on Earth.

[Breitbart] A driver ran down two New Zealand police officers down as they patrolled on foot in the early hours of New Year’s Day, killing one and seriously injuring the other, the country’s police chief said.
The attack jolted a country where the killing of police officers on duty is rare.
The vehicle drove into the officers “at speed” as they performed a routine patrol of a parking lot, before the driver turned and rammed a police car, Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told reporters in the South Island city of Nelson. A 32-year-old man was arrested and charged over the incident shortly after it happened at about 2 a.m. local time.
One of the officers, a woman, died in a local hospital hours later.
The other was in serious condition but was expected to make a full recovery, Chambers said. A third officer who was in the rammed police car received a concussion and two members of the public were hurt, one of them after coming to help the injured officers.
Chambers condemned the “senseless act of an individual who appears to have been determined to cause harm,” although he did not suggest a motive.
“There was, at this stage, no indication that was what about to occur, occurred,” Chambers said.
New Zealand’s Police Minister Mark Mitchell said the officers were “targeted in what I consider a very cowardly attack.”
The attack happened in a downtown area of Nelson – population 55,000 – close to the street where the city’s New Year’s Eve celebrations had concluded two hours before.
Before Wednesday, the last killing of a police officer on duty in New Zealand was in 2020, when an officer was shot by a fleeing driver. 33 other officers have died through criminal acts while on duty since 1890, according to police records.
The woman killed, Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming, had been an officer for 38 years and was “well-known and hugely respected member of the Nelson community”, Chambers said. She is survived by a spouse and children.
The man charged is due to appear in court on Friday.
[NYPOST] At least 10 people, including two children, were killed and four others were seriously maimed on Wednesday in a shooting rampage that followed a bar brawl in a western Montenegrin city, officials said. The shooter was on the run.
Police identified the attacker as 45-year-old Aco Martinovic. He killed the owner of the bar in the city of Cetinje, the bar owner's children and his own family members, Interior Minister Danilo Saranovic said at a news conference.
Police dispatched special troops to search for the attacker in Cetinje, located some 30 kilometers (18 miles) northwest of the capital, Podgorica. All the roads in and out of the city have been blocked as police swarmed the streets.
Saranovic described the suspect as dangerous and appealed on the residents to stay indoors.
[IsraelTimes] A gunman who killed at least 10 people in a rampage in a small town in Montenegro died from self-inflicted injuries on Thursday after attempting suicide, the country’s interior minister, Danilo Saranovic, says.
The gunman, identified by police as Aleksandar Martinovic, 45, attempted suicide near his home in the town of Cetinje after being cornered by police.
"When he saw that he was in a hopeless situation, he attempted suicide. He did not succumb to his injuries on the spot, but during the transport to the hospital," Saranovic tells Montenegro’s state broadcaster, RTCG.
Saranovic provides no details on the attempted suicide.
Martinovic was on the run after opening fire on Wednesday afternoon at a restaurant in Cetinje, a small town located 38 km (23.6 miles) west of Podgorica, the Montenegrin capital, where he killed four people.
The shooter then moved on to three other locations, killing at least six more people, including two children, police said. Four other people suffered life-threatening injuries.
Police say Martinovic had a history of illegal weapons possession.
Late on Wednesday, police director Lazar Scepanovic said the suspect was thought to have been drinking heavily before the shooting. Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajic said there had been a brawl before shots were fired.
Police say the shooting was not thought to be connected to organized crime.

And, sorry to say, quite an eager 'un...
Although we were grateful
His murders weren't hateful,
