2 Injured In Shooting Outside Infamous Auburndale Bar: NYPD

AUBURNDALE, QUEENS — Police are investigating a shooting at an infamous Auburndale bar, which left two people hurt.

Early in the morning of Saturday, Nov. 13, around 2:19 a.m., police rushed to Kloud Tequila Grill at 192-08 Northern Boulevard in response to a reported shooting.

When officers arrived at the bar, they found two injured people outside of the bar: A 35-year-old who'd been shot in the groin and suffered a graze gunshot wound to the back of his head, and a 28-year-old with gunshot wounds to his legs, according to the NYPD.

Both men were taken to the hospital, and while police did not respond to Patch's inquiry about their conditions, other sources reported that they were both in stable condition.

The NYPD also didn't answer Patch's question about a 19-year-old suspect, who some sources reported was in custody and facing weapons and trespassing charges after the incident. According to police, the investigation is ongoing as of Monday.

This is not the first time that Kloud Tequila Grill has made headlines: Last month a group of neighbors rallied in front of the bar, demanding that the city shut it down over their complaints that it is loud, dirty, and promoting after-hours partying and drinking.

Patch found that neighbors have leveled over 100 complaints about the bar to 311, the city's non-emergency service line, since it opened in May.
