At least three people have been injured following a shooting in New York City’s Times Square.

The incident occurred at around 1:20 a.m. local time on Saturday, Aug. 9, after “a verbal dispute between two people escalated,” the Associated Press reported, citing the New York Police Department.

A 19-year-old man was shot in the right foot, along with a 65-year-old man who was shot in the left leg and an 18-year-old woman who suffered a graze gunshot wound to the neck, according to The Times.

Following the shooting between West 44th Street and 7th Avenue, the victims were taken to Bellevue Hospital and are in stable condition, per the outlet.

The shooting comes just a week after suspected Manhattan shooter Shane Tamura opened fire inside the building of the NFL headquarters and killed four people before committing suicide.
