Three people were wounded during a shooting at New York City’s iconic |
|
Times Square, police said Saturday. |
|
|
|
One person was held in custody and questioned over the shooting, the |
|
New York Police Department said. No charges have been pressed yet. |
|
|
|
Video on social media showed people running away from the scene, police |
|
surrounding a vehicle and attending to the wounded lying on the ground. |
|
Several have been hospitalized, but their injuries are not |
|
life-threatening, the police said. |
|
|
|
The shooting took place at 1:20 a.m. No details have been released so |
|
far on how it unfolded. |
|
|
|
New York City has seen a remarkable drop in gun violence this year. |
|
Through August 3, it has seen its fewest shootings in decades, down |
|
23% so far since last year. |
|
|
|
New York bans firearms from certain so-called sensitive locations such |
|
as public transportation, hospitals, schools and Times Square, and |
|
requires that handgun owners prove “good moral character.” The US |
|
Supreme Court declined to take up to the state’s gun laws in April. |
