Two women and a 4-year-old child were shot in Times Square in New York City on Saturday afternoon, and the New York Police Department said a manhunt was underway for a person of interest who fled the scene. The child and the 23-year-old were shot in the leg, and the older woman was shot in a foot. Mayor Bill de Blasio attributed the shooting to a "flood of illegal guns" in the city. The shooting was one in a series as gun violence and crime increase in the city. And last year, the city reported that it saw as many shootings in 2020 as the prior two years combined.
