New Yorkers have also been startled at the apparent wildness of the fusillade. Outrage at the shooting was compounded when it emerged that Mr Guzman and Mr Benefield had been shackled to their beds. One of his friends, Joseph Guzman, was in a critical condition after being hit 11 times, and another, Trent Benefield, was in a stable condition with wounds to his leg and buttocks. He was struck in the neck and arm and was dead on arrival at hospital. The shooting took place after a stag party at a strip club in Queens, a few hours before Sean Bell, 23, was due to marry the mother of his two small daughters. The New York authorities were scrambling to contain an angry backlash yesterday after police shot a group of three unarmed black men, killing one of them on his wedding day.
