NEW YORK: A 17-year-old boy opened fire and wounded three people in New York City’s heavily touristed Times Square early Saturday, the New York Police Department said.
The shooting occurred around 1:20 am (0520 GMT) following a “verbal altercation,” an NYPD spokesperson told AFP without giving further details.
An 18-year-old woman’s neck was grazed, while a 19-year-old man and a 65-year-old man’s lower limbs were injured, police said.
None of the injuries was considered to be life-threatening.
The three victims were taken to New York City’s Bellevue Hospital, where they were determined to be in stable condition.
