New York City is reeling from a weekend of violence that even overtook one of the Big Apple’s most prominent tourist attractions, Times Square, and continued through Monday morning.
A 4-year-old girl who was buying toys and two women, one of whom was a tourist, were in the area of West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan on Saturday evening when they were struck by bullets meant for someone else. They are expected to survive, but the suspect was still at large as of Monday afternoon.

Federal appeals court turns back challenge to disclosure of New York law enforcement disciplinary records by Steve Bittenbender, The Center Square | February 17, 2021 12:00 PM Print this article
A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected an effort by unions representing New York City law enforcement, correctional officers and first responders to keep the city from disclosing their members’ disciplinary records.
The lawsuit was a response to New York state lawmakers repealing Section 50-A of the state’s Civil Rights Law last year. That move was one of several law enforcement reforms the state implemented last June after the death of George Floyd by a police officer in Minneapolis spurred protests across the state.
