Three teens shot, wounded in Times Square as tourists run for cover

Three teens were shot and wounded in Times Square, sending tourists scurrying for cover, police said Tuesday.

Shots rang out on W. 42nd St. near Seventh Ave. about 11:50 p.m. Monday, cops said.

A 15-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man were both shot in the leg and taken by medics to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.

A 17-year-old boy, grazed in his armpit, got to Harlem Hospital by private means and is also in stable condition.

The shooter, carrying a brown backpack, got away.

Cops said video they have recovered shows the gunman earlier having an argument with the victims, who were part of a larger group. A short time later he opened fire.
