Three people were shot during an early morning shooting in New York City’s iconic Times Square and police have detained a 17-year-old suspect.

Gunfire broke out in the gun-free area near the corner of 44th Street and 7th Avenue, just a few feet away from the Hard Rock Café and Carmine’s Italian Restaurant, at approximately 1:20 a.m., causing people to run for cover.

An 18-year-old woman and two men aged 19 and 65 were injured in the shooting, police told Fox News Digital.

Video posted online shows a chaotic scene with a heavy police presence and first responders tending to victims. 

One man was seen lying on the ground near an SUV before being placed on a gurney and loaded into an ambulance. A visibly distressed woman exited the same vehicle, though she did not appear to be injured. Police could not confirm whether any occupants of the SUV were among the victims.

Police were unable to provide any further information and said the investigation is ongoing.

This isn’t the first time gun violence involving teens has rocked Times Square. In February 2024, a 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant was arrested after allegedly shooting a tourist in the leg at JD Sports and firing at an NYPD officer while fleeing the scene.

Meanwhile, in April, a food cart vendor was shot just four blocks away from this morning’s scene after a dispute with a group of young people.
