Mike Bloomberg-affiliated Everytown for Gun Safety ranks New York number four in the country for gun law stringency, but three people were shot Saturday in gun-free Times Square just before 1:30 a.m.
The Daily Mail reported that the shooting occurred on 44th Street and 7th Avenue. One of the wounded was an 18-year-old woman, and the two other wounded individuals were men, ages 19 and 65.
None of the gunshot wounds were life-threatening.
ABC News noted that a 17-year-old was arrested in connection with shooting, which allegedly occurred following an argument between the 17-year-old and the 19-year-old.
Police do not know whether the 17-year-old and the 19-year-old knew each other.
