According to the police report, it all began around 3:30 p.m. on Broadway with a confrontation involving a large group of migrants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the altercation, a 26-year-old man had his throat slit. Shortly afterward, the 17-year-old suspect, who is also a migrant, opened fire on the same group of people. He was taken into custody, but no charges have yet been filed against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after, a second shooting occurred nearby. Fortunately, no one was injured in either shooting. The man with the neck wound was transported to a hospital, is in stable condition, and is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">EarthCam&#39;s Times Square cameras captured today&#39;s shooting incident and the immediate crowd response in the heart of New York City. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2ycU02zhZT\">pic.twitter.com\/2ycU02zhZT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; EarthCam (@EarthCam) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EarthCam\/status\/2067730744697327634?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 18, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dozens of police officers arrived at the scene.
