NEW Fox News articles can now be heard on audio! According to the New York Police Department (NYPD), three males who opened fire on a party in Queens late on Friday night were captured by detectives.

In a press conference, NYPD Chief of Patrol Jeffrey Maddrey revealed that at around 11:35 p.m. ET, members of the violent crime unit were in Springfield Gardens, Queens, near 219th Street and 130th Avenue.

The police were keeping an eye on a gathering with between 75 and 100 people nearby.
They were watching the celebration because they thought there would be violence involving some of the neighborhood street crews, he continued.

When a group of unidentified guys pulled out at least three guns and entered the same intersection, the plainclothes cops were in an unmarked car.
The cops realized there was danger outside their car when they fired the pistols into the area around the party.
Three of the males were captured after a gunfight between the investigators and the group of men, according to Maddrey.
The three men were shot in the same places.
