New York City police are hunting for the gunman who opened fire in Times Square, resulting in the shooting of an innocent bystander, as officials on Monday announced their plan to "flood" the Crossroads of the World with more officers.
NYPD officials have said the gunfire was preceded by a dispute between the shooter and several other people. Authorities believe the man was struck by a ricocheting bullet. Police have said they received a report of a man shot in the area of West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue at about 5:15 p.m. local time and arrived to find a 21-year-old man had been shot in the back by a stranger who then fled from the area.More Related News
