NEW YORK: Police say one person has been killed and three others wounded in a shooting inside a concert venue in New York City, where hip-hop artist T.I. was scheduled to perform.

It happened around 10.15pm Wednesday at Irving Plaza, near Manhattan's Union Square.

Police say a 34-year-old man was shot in the chest and a 33-year-old man was shot in the stomach. One of the men has died, police didn't say which one. A 26-year-old woman was shot in the leg. Police said a fourth person walked into a hospital on their own.

A concertgoer says T.I. was supposed to take the stage around 9 or 9.30pm, but never went on.

Representatives for T.I., whose real name is Clifford Joseph Harris Jr., say they're referring all questions about the shooting to police.--AP
