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.

Three people have been shot in Times Square with emergency services rushing to the scene in the early hours of the morning.

Three people are reportedly injured after a dispute between two people ‘escalated’
