0:33Now PlayingA tourist was shot in the leg at a retail store in Times Square on Thursday night by a young shoplifting suspect who then opened fire at an NYPD cop on a busy Midtown street, police said.
The mayhem unfolded at JD Sports at West 42nd Street and Broadway around 7:15 p.m. after a security guard confronted a trio of male suspects — including a teen who lives at a nearby migrant shelter — to stop them from stealing, according to cops and sources.
The female security guard yanked a bag of stolen merchandise away from one of them — who was described by cops as 15 to 20 years old and wearing all white.
The guard was approaching a second in the group when the suspect wearing all white pulled out a gun and fired it in her direction, NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell said at a press conference.
The bullet missed the security guard but struck a 37-year-old Brazilian woman who was in the store, police said.
According to a 911 call, the woman was hit just above her left knee and barricaded herself inside a storage room.
The security guard rushed to the tourist’s aid, sources said, and she was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition.
