I bet you didn't know you could get underwear at a party at a former church, but there is a price to pay. "Blacks do the darnest things"!
Lingerie party at former Queens church ends in bloodshed
Sunday, September 2nd 2007, 4:00 AM
A lingerie party in a former Queens church ended in bloodshed early yesterday when a gunman sprayed bullets into a crowd of revelers, police said.
Six people - all dressed in lingerie or types of pajamas - were wounded by the gunfire and a seventh was stabbed after a screaming match escalated into violence, police said.
"People were screaming, 'Somebody's got a gun!'" said a deejay at the party. "Everybody started hiding behind the [deejay] equipment."
About 200 people in their late teens and early 20s had been partying in the former home of the Church of Christ on Rockaway Blvd. in Jamaica, witnesses and police said. The partygoers ran from the building after the shots rang out at 1:20 a.m., police said.
No arrests were made, and it was not immediately clear whether there was more than one gunman, police said.
Witnesses said the man who was stabbed limped from the building before collapsing. "He was stabbed in the left shoulder and right arm," said a witness, who would not give her name. "He couldn't run."
Six victims were taken to Jamaica Hospital; the seventh was transported to Mary Immaculate Hospital. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening. The victims' names were not released.
