Basically, four shot and thirty-three arrested.

Tell us more Wally, apparently the Auto-Show attracts trouble.

That story uses the words "ruckus", "fracas", and "nutty activity" all in a single story.

Too bad they couldn't fit persnickety and curmudgeon in there as well, oh well can't have everything.

It doesn't sound like the Auto Show is the cause, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. These guys say it's an annual Easter event:

That's the annual after auto show gun show. For some reason Easter sunday has become a gang initiation event every year although Mayor Burns insists that it was just a couple rowdy youths acting up and that there is no crime in NY under his watch

King Bloomburg says theres nothing to see here, move along. All those pistols are strictly controlled in NYC, so all that shooting is impossible... maybe they have to make it more illegal-er?
