Reports of gunshots tonight outside the NYU dorm ‘Alumni Hall’ at Third Avenue and East 9th Street.
Just before midnight, Washington Square News reported that two groups were involved in a shooting. It’s unclear if the shooting had any relation to NYU students or if the location just happened to be outside an NYU dorm.
Altercation between two groups outside Alumni Hall earlier this evening resulted in gunshots. No injuries reported. No NYU members involved.
