A chaotic scene unfolded on Second Avenue just before 3:00 a.m. this morning when a verbal confrontation became violent – and the audio was captured by a local podcaster.

According to NYPD officials, two couples were outside of Iggy’s Karaoke Bar on 76th and Second Ave when the argument began. One of the men took out a gun and fired nine shots, striking the other man in the leg. The shooting victim’s female companion suffered a cut to the face, and both were taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition. The unidentified shooter and the woman with him left the scene and are currently being sought by police.
The sound of the shocking incident was captured in a video shared on X. According to the New York Post, Keanu Thompson, a comedian and podcaster who lives above the bar, was talking with an on-air caller when she accidentally recorded the shooting – and her own frightened reaction.
In the video, Thomson can be heard speaking with a caller before being startled by a loud noise from outside. The loud pops continue and she eventually ducks down under her desk, even moving a chair to barricade herself. When the shots stop, a woman can be heard screaming outside. Thompson then makes a phone call and is obviously upset, sobbing “Oh my God” and telling the person that she is “terrified.” In an interview with The Post, Thompson described her fear, saying, “I literally thought, I don’t know, either end of days or some really horrifying fight.” She added “For Christ’s sake, it’s the Upper East Side!”

WHen are you liberal morons going to vote out these politicians who could care less if you get shot in the street and will let the people who do it get away with it and not goto jail. The mayor, the DA, stop doing this and vote out these idiots who are ruining the city and literally allowing tax paying citizens to be killed with NO CONSEQUENCES.
Red states have higher rates of gun violence and death. Nice try though.
Source??, is Chicago included in your brainwashed statement, its not about red and blue, its about common sense, bail reform and NO CONSEQUENCES for crime and you cant even buy soap or anything else at Duane Reede because its behind glass. Open your eyes, but looks like its too late for you, the only way you will learn is when YOU get shot or get pushed onto the subway tracks.
Also not interested in the skewed for dummies stats that includide SUICIDES and per capita. Look at Murders, and also out your window, if you think the city hasnt deteriored in the last 10 years in relation to crime as a result of bail reform and SJW initiatives then its evident you are either a liar or brain washed, also interested to see what COUNTIES / CITIES COMPRISE THE MOST MURDERS IN SAID STATES.

Patch website for whatever reason did not disclose the name of the bar, although a commenter mentioned it. Sounds like a rough place.
