NEW YORK — A 15-year-old has been taken into custody after allegedly shooting and injuring a tourist in Times Square and firing at a responding officer, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The teen was caught Friday afternoon just north of New York City, in Yonkers, by the U.S. Marshals, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The shooting unfolded after three teenage boys — two aged 15 and another 16 — entered JD Sports, a clothing and sneaker store, at about 7 p.m. Thursday and started stealing merchandise on the second floor, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said. Two of the three suspects went to the lobby, where a female security guard confronted them and took back the stolen property, Chell said.
