NY Post
The NYPD is hunting the young gunman — who police sources say is believed to be a migrant — suspected of shooting an innocent tourist and firing at a cop during a botched robbery in Times Square.
A reward of up to $10,000 is being offered for anyone with information leading to the suspect, a man between the ages of 15 and 20 who was wearing an all-white outfit during Thursday night’s chaos at the Crossroads of the World, the NYPD posted on X.
The suspected shooter and two others — also believed to be in their early to late teens — were spotted bagging up loot, possibly sneakers, on the second floor of the JD Sports store at West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue around 7 p.m., NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said at a news conference Thursday.
A female security guard stopped two of the bandits in the lobby area, where she was able to yank a bag of stolen goods from the suspect wearing all white — who pulled out a gun and fired in her direction, Chell said.
The bullet missed the security guard, but struck a 37-year-old woman visiting from Brazil who was in the store.
The gunman and the blue jacket-wearing teen who was with him in the lobby bolted from the store, while the third youngster remained, police and sources said.
