Three teenagers injured in Times Square shooting
Three teenage boys were shot in Times Square on Monday night, police and sources said.
The trio of victims — aged 15, 16 and 17 — were struck by bullets when a male suspect opened fire on Seventh Avenue between West 41st and 42nd streets at 11:50 p.m., the NYPD said.
The 15-year-old and 16-year-old boys were each hit in the leg.
They were taken by EMS to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, according to cops.
The third victim, 17, went by private means to Harlem Hospital with a gunshot wound to his arm.
He’s listed in stable condition, police said.
The gunman fled on foot on West 41st Street, authorities said.
He hadn’t been arrested by early Tuesday.
The teens were reportedly part of a larger group of people that got into an argument with the suspect who pulled out a gun and fired at the group in the bustling tourist area, sources said.
The investigation is ongoing.
