A shooting incident in New York's Times Square caused panic among hundreds of tourists and visitors on Thursday afternoon after several gunshots were heard in one of the city's busiest locations. Authorities confirmed that one person was injured and taken to a hospital for treatment.
Incident Occurred During Crowded Afternoon
According to officials, the shooting took place around 3:40 p.m. local time. The area was heavily crowded following celebrations linked to the New York Knicks' recent NBA championship victory. Thousands of visitors and football fans were also present in the city due to the ongoing FIFA World Cup activities.
