A 17-year-old has been taken into custody in connection with a shooting that wounded three people in Times Square early Saturday morning, according to the New York Police Department.
The gunfire erupted around 1:20 a.m. near 44th Street and 7th Avenue after the teen suspect allegedly became involved in a dispute with a 19-year-old man, police said. Moments later, three shots were fired.
The victims include a 19-year-old man shot in the right foot, a 65-year-old man shot in the left leg, and an 18-year-old woman grazed in the neck. All were transported to Bellevue Hospital and are in stable condition, authorities said.
Police have not yet determined the cause of the altercation or whether the suspect and victims knew one another.
The firearm believed to have been used was recovered at the scene.
Charges against the suspect are pending as the investigation continues.
