In a shocking incident at New York City's iconic Times Square, three people were wounded during a shooting, police reported on Saturday.

Scenes of chaos were captured on social media, showing people fleeing while police tended to the injured, who fortunately sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The shooting, which occurred at 1:20 am, comes amid a notable decline in gun violence in New York City, attributed to more stringent gun laws, including bans in 'sensitive' areas like Times Square.
