A man was shot in the stomach and arm when gunfire rang out inside a potential “after-hours club” in a high-rise in Midtown, Manhattan, on Saturday morning.
The victim, believed to be in his 30s, was shot inside 247 West 30th Street — a building near Penn Station — around 7:30 a.m., police said.
The man made his way outside and flagged down police officers on the street, according to an NYPD spokesman.

EMS rushed him to Bellevue Hospital, where he was undergoing surgery later, cops said.
Detectives found one shell casing on the second floor of the location, which appeared to be an “after hours club or event space,” a police source said.

There were no arrests and police were investigating.
