Teen Taken Into Custody After Triple Shooting in Times Square

A 17-year-old was taken into custody after three people were shot in Times Square early Saturday morning, according to police.

Police blocked off the area and recovered a firearm near West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue just before 1:30 a.m., where the shooting happened, authorities say.

An 18-year-old girl was grazed in the neck, a 19-year-old man was shot in the foot and a 65-year-old man was hit in the left leg during the shooting, officials report. They were all taken to a local hospital and are expected to survive.

“It’s a very overwhelming experience for the fact that…there’s so many victims,” said Nai, a witness at the scene. “Really take your life into consideration…also be aware of your surroundings.”

The shooting may have started as a verbal dispute between the 17-year-old who was taken into custody and the 19-year-old who was shot, police tell PIX11 News.

Investigators say they’re not looking for any other shooters at the moment but are still working to find the details of the incident.

They were a feudal society until the late nineteenth century.

I’ve visited NYC before Giuliani, during Giuliani, and once after Giuliani.

Gotham, you need to do two things if you want to save your city.

First, stop allowing Deep State to select your candidates for you.

Second, secure your damned elections. Including getting rid of electronic voting machines and tabulators, mail-in, any excuse absentee, and RCV.

And how did they handle crimes by “teens”?

When governments prosecute crimes they’re simply acting as governments will and as governments should.

When governments refuse to prosecute crimes, this refusal is due to the contrary agenda of an infiltrating or occupying force.

First time I went to NYC was in 1982. From what I remember, Manhattan had cops on every corner.

The Bronx was another story , there were buildings that had crumbled out into the street.

There is another reason as well.

It’s called anarchotyranny.

I don’t like anarchotyranny.

Looks like our debate has faded, run out of power or something.

“Looks like our debate has faded..””

It was a debate. I was right and you were wrong.

You were right in the eyes of the cabal, in that you advocated for their agenda to divide our country through racial animosity.

But you never gave empirical or logical support for your claim that skin color causes violent crime.

“ in that you advocated for their agenda to divide our country through racial animosity.”

Bullshit. I’m simply pointing out facts.

Facts aren’t racist.

What’s the difference between facts and narrative?

Who thinks pointing out facts wins the battle?

What is low IQ?

What is warfare?

What is fifth generation warfare?
