NEW YORK – At approximately 10:15 p.m. Wednesday, four people – three men and a woman – were shot at Irving Plaza, a concert hall in Lower Manhattan where rapper T.I. was set to perform. T.I. hadn’t taken the stage.

One of the victims has died. The conditions of the other three victims were unknown, NYPD Detective William Aubry said in a news conference.

Aubry said the shooting took place backstage. Before the shooting, a fight allegedly broke out backstage, which spilled onto the stage during Marino and Uncle Murda’s opening performance

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe granted amnesty to all female prisoners except those on death row and serving life sentences as his government struggles to meet the costs of running a country where the economy has halved in size since 2000.

Male prisoners under the age of 18 were pardoned regardless of the crimes committed, while those over 60 who have served two-thirds of their terms will be released, he said in a government statement on Thursday. Adult males convicted of rape, armed robbery or murder will not be released, while terminally ill patients unlikely to survive prison life will be freed, he said.

Zimbabwe will also release women convicted of killing but sentenced to relatively short sentences due to mitigating factors. The country has 95 people on “death row,”according to Amnesty International. Courts can’t impose capital punishment on people older than 70 or younger than 21 and the 2013 constitution limits death sentences to cases of murder “committed in aggravating circumstances.”
