NEW YORK -- A woman suffered a minor gunshot wound and four other people were hurt when a gun went off Saturday night at New York's famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel, CBS radio station 1010 WINS reported.
The shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the Midtown Manhattan hotel as a wedding was taking place, according to New York Police Department Deputy Chief William Aubry.
He said a firearm belonging to a wedding guest accidentally discharged, grazing a woman in the head. She was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, 1010 WINS reported.
Four others were injured by debris, Aubry said, with three of them taken to local hospitals. None of the injuries were believed to be life-threatening.
