АНУ-ын Нью-Йорк хотын Таймс талбайд пүрэв гарагийн үдээс хойш галт зэвсэг ашигласан хэрэг гарч, олон нийтийн дунд сандрал үүсгэлээ. Цагдаагийн байгууллагын мэдээлснээр, 16:00 цагийн орчимд Баруун 44-р гудамж болон Долдугаар өргөн чөлөөний орчимд буун дуу гарсан байна. Хяналтын камерын бичлэгт хоёр хүн зэвсэглэн гал нээж, улмаар хэргийн газраас зугтаж байгаа дүрс бичигджээ.
Нью-Йорк хотын цагдаагийн газар (NYPD) шуурхай ажиллагааны дүнд нэг сэжигтнийг баривчилж, нэг ширхэг галт зэвсгийг хураан авсан байна. Баривчлагдсан этгээд нь 18-аас доош насных бөгөөд хэргийн сэдэл болон зорилгын талаарх мөрдөн байцаалтын ажиллагаа үргэлжилж байна.
Энэхүү хэрэг нь Нью-Йорк хотноо “Нью-Йорк Никс” багийн аваргалсантай холбоотой баяр ёслол болон олон улсын хөлбөмбөгийн аварга шалгаруулах тэмцээний үеэр тохиосон юм. Албаны хүмүүсийн мэдээлснээр, уг үйл явдал нь баяр ёслолын арга хэмжээтэй ямар ч холбоогүй болохыг тодотгов.
Хохирогчдын талаарх мэдээлэл зөрүүтэй байна. Гал унтраах албанаас нэг хүнийг эмнэлэгт хүргэсэн гэж мэдээлсэн бол цагдаагийн эх сурвалжууд бэртэж гэмтсэн хүн байхгүй гэж CBS телевизэд мэдэгджээ.

The incident unfolded just hours after crowds had flooded Manhattan for the New York Knicks’ championship parade, which took place elsewhere in the city. Officials said the Times Square shooting was not connected to the parade, where around 10,000 police officers had been deployed for security.
The scare also comes as New York is already packed with football fans for the ongoing FIFA World Cup, with even larger crowds expected as the New York/New Jersey area braces for the tournament final at MetLife Stadium on July 19.
