Three people were injured in a Times Square shooting early Saturday. A 17-year-old suspect is in custody. NYPD investigates as safety concerns grow.
Times Square, one of New York City’s most iconic and bustling landmarks, became the scene of chaos early Saturday morning after a shooting left three people injured. The incident occurred around 1:20 a.m. at the intersection of West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue — an area that usually buzzes with tourists, performers, and street vendors well into the night. According to police, the suspect, reportedly a 17-year-old, was taken into custody shortly after the shooting and is currently being questioned. Authorities say a firearm was recovered at the scene, but no charges have been filed yet. While the victims — an 18-year-old woman, a 19-year-old man, and a 65-year-old man — are expected to survive, the event has reignited conversations about safety in so-called “gun-free zones” like Times Square.
