WLJ:
Reports of a "Machine gun"
Speculation on my part but probably a Glock switch


--- Quote ---Choi said he was told there was a man with a machine-gun, and believes there shooting took place at a dance club.
He added the man had multiple rounds of ammunition on him and would reload every time he ran out.

Interesting that it was reported as a BALLROOM dance club. Maybe I have a boomer expectation of the demographic that would normally frequent a ballroom dance club, vs some hip hop club that might attract gang activity.

WLJ:
I would think a ballroom would have a large open area that could be rented out for such occasions.
The Chinese community here usually rents out a similar place here for Luna NY.

Ah, sure - I wasn't thinking of that. The way I read it, it sounded like the dance club was being used as a dance club, but renting the space makes sense.
