More New York police officers will patrol Times Square after a shooting last weekend that injured three people, including a child, the mayor said on Monday as he sought to reassure visitors that the city is safe as it reopens after the yearlong coronavirus pandemic.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said the New York Police Department would add an unspecified number of officers from the Critical Response Command, one of the force's first lines of defense against a terrorist attack, to patrols in Times Square, a popular tourist attraction.
Police on Monday were still searching for a man they identified as a "person of interest" in the shooting that wounded innocent bystanders just before 5 p.m. Friday local time. The attack stemmed from a domestic dispute, authorities said. The 4-year-old and 23-year-old were shot in the leg and the 43-year-old was shot in the foot, Shea said.
