NEW YORK (Reuters) - Police trying to arrest a man running through traffic in New York's crowded Times Square on Saturday night opened fire on the suspect but missed him, wounding two women instead, city officials confirmed on Sunday.The man was apparently trying to get himself hit by vehicles as he erratically ran among traffic at the corner of 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue, according to police. The area is filled with restaurants and attractions popular with tourists.
The 35-year-old man, who police did not identify, dodged officers trying to arrest him, and put a hand in his pocket before simulating pulling out a weapon and shooting at officers although he was unarmed, police said.
Two police officers fired their guns, but missed the man. Instead, a 54-year-old woman was struck in the right knee, while another bullet grazed the buttocks of a 35-year-old woman. Both were taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Local media said both women were from Manhattan, which police did not immediately confirm on Sunday.
An officer managed to shock the man with a Taser gun before he was taken into custody.
Police are still investigating.
About a year ago, police officers wounded nine bystanders near the Empire State Building as they pursued a man who had just shot and killed a former colleague.

I got shot in the buttocks, tha bullet just jupped up and bit me.

Hey...they're gettin' better. It was "only" two innocent bystanders this time.

NYPD Slogan: "If you don't like the way we shoot, stay off the sidewalk."

Ban police!

Since you only know one part of the story, one should wait till it's over. IF this guy had started taking people out, the cries of WHERE WERE THE POLICE would be echoing throughout city hall.

FWIW: There were numerous calls to 911 about a "man" acting strangely, threatening people, with a weapon, and playing tag with vehicles. BUT, nowhere is that reported.

The NYPD's PC policy has doomed LE as we know it. While it may be good for those upstairs. the ones on th estreet who actually do their job, instead of collecting a paycheck are the ones in jeopardy.

I only find it humorous, or ironic, since it's New York and Bloomberg constantly spouts the "only cops should have guns" bullshit.

Hope that 12lb trigger helped.

They are getting better, they only fired three times and got two hits. I bet there was a ton of people around though, it could've been worse.
