MANHATTAN - Teens shooting teens appears to be the motive behind a Times Square shooting that left three youngsters wounded. Now cops have arrested a 15-year-old male and charged him as the gunman in the shocking shooting. 


This morning police arrested a 15-year-old male in connection with the July 17th shooting. Investigators did not release his name nor say where he was from due to the fact that the suspect is a minor. The teen was charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon: a loaded firearm. 


Cops said the shooting stemmed from an argument among a group of men standing at the Crossroads of the World. It is unclear if the shooting was gang related or if the suspect has prior arrests or gang affiliations. 


At around midnight on July 17, two groups of teens were in front of 5 Times Square and began arguing. As the dispute escalated, one of the members pulled out a handgun and repeatedly fired the weapon.


Cops said a 15-year-old male was struck in the thigh. Another 16-year-old male was shot in the thigh as well. A 17-year-old male was shot in the arm.


The gunman fled on foot in an unknown direction.


EMS rushed the 15 and the 16-year-old males to NYC Health and Hospitals/ Bellevue where they were listed in stable condition.


The 17-year-old sought medical treatment by being rushed to NYC Health and Hospitals/ Harlem by private transport.
