Multiple people have been shot, at least one fatally, after gunfire broke out during a T.I. gig in Manhattan last night.

The rapper - who has had hit singles with Rihanna, Justin Timberlake and Iggy Azalea - was about to headline Manhattan’s Irving Plaza when gunfire broke out. The New York Times reports that the gunfire sent “panicked concertgoers streaming for the exits” - which can be seen in the video below.

Though the story is still developing, there were reportedly four victims - three men and one woman - and a 33-year-old man was killed. One of the victims, who was shot in the leg, is said to be New York rapper Troy Ave. 

A witness said, "Right when he was about to go on I heard two gunshots, and right after, there was a stampede. There were at least three rounds, but after the second one was when people started running.”
