According to Garden City police, at 4:10 a.m. Sunday morning, May 21, Garden City Hotel security personnel called police when they heard what they believed to be shots fired in the parking lot. Police confirmed the same, finding four shell casings in the parking lot and a Nissan, which was struck three times.

Reports state that a dispute between two groups inside the hotel's Posh Ultra Lounge escalated into gunfire although no injuries were reported. The suspects involved in the incident left the scene. Garden City and Nassau County police are still investigating the incident; no arrests were reported as of press time.

Posh Ultra Lounge was in the news a few months back when five people were arrested in connection with an incident that occurred March 31. According to detectives, five defendants became involved in a physical altercation with security guards, causing injury to four of the guards, including a broken nose. One defendant involved allegedly caused injury to three of the guards, swinging a baseball bat he obtained from his vehicle while another allegedly punched and shattered the window of the valet parking booth.
