NEW YORK \u2014 Three people were wounded during a shooting at New York City’s iconic Times Square, police said Saturday.<\/p>\n

One person was held in custody and questioned over the shooting, the New York Police Department said. No charges have been pressed yet.<\/p>\n

Video on social media shows people running away from the scene, police surrounding a vehicle and attending to the wounded lying on the ground. Several people have been hospitalized, but their injuries are not life-threatening, the police said.<\/p>\n

The shooting took place at 1:20 a.m. No details have been released so far on how it unfolded.<\/p>\n

New York City has seen a remarkable drop in gun violence this year. Through Aug. 3, it has seen its fewest shootings in decades, down 23% so far since last year.<\/p>\n

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 U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a challenge<\/a> to the state’s gun laws in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK \u2014 Three people were wounded during a shooting at New York City’s iconic Times Square, police…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":132509,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,419,418,4219,421,420,3228,425,405,403,50,5226,5225,5228,5227,422,423,62,399,314,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,424,313],"class_list":{"0":"post-132508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-cars","10":"tag-classifieds","11":"tag-crime","12":"tag-homes","13":"tag-jobs","14":"tag-law","15":"tag-local","16":"tag-new-york","17":"tag-new-york-city","18":"tag-news","19":"tag-newyork","20":"tag-newyorkcity","21":"tag-ny","22":"tag-nyc","23":"tag-radio","24":"tag-salt-lake","25":"tag-sports","26":"tag-television","27":"tag-traffic","28":"tag-united-states","29":"tag-united-states-of-america","30":"tag-unitedstates","31":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","32":"tag-us","33":"tag-usa","34":"tag-utah","35":"tag-weather"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115000517839449993","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132508\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
