Two people, a woman and a toddler, were shot in New York City’s Times Square on Saturday evening, according to police.
They are expected to survive, and are being treated for injuries at Bellevue Hospital. The woman sustained a gunshot wound to her leg, according to authorities.
The shooting occurred around 5pm, three senior New York Police Department officials told NBC New York, near the corner of West 44th Street and 7th Avenue.
Police warned that they were cordoning off the scene of the incident for their investigation and could cause delays through the busy Manhattan crossroads.
“Expect traffic delays, road closures, and a heavy presence of emergency personnel in the area of West 44th Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan,” read a tweet on Saturday from New York City Emergency Management. “Avoid the area.”
