The first of what could be several lawsuits filed in the wake of Wednesday's shootings at New York City's Irving Plaza is on the way.
26-year old model Maggie Carrie Heckstall, who was shot in the knee, has hired The Blanch Law Firm of Manhattan, according to the New York Daily News.
“We expect to be filing a claim against all responsible parties. She will be undergoing surgery to remove the bullet from her knee," read a statement from the firm.

The surgery may require metal rods be placed in Heckstall's leg. She was celebrating her birthday at T.I.'s concert when gunshots were fired backstage at the Manhattan club.
Three others were also hit by bullets during the chaotic scene.
Bystander Christopher Vinson, 34, is recovering from a chest wound.
33-year old rapper Troy Ave, real name Roland Collins, suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.
The BSB Records CEO's childhood friend, Ronald (Edgar) McPhatter, 30, died from a gunshot wound to the stomach.
