Three people were hospitalized Saturday evening after a shooting in Times Square left the youngest victim, a 4-year-old girl, injured and started the NYPD on a manhunt for the gunman responsible.

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea confirmed at an evening press conference that the three victims were unintended targets of the shooter and were not related to one another.

The young girl was struck in the leg, a 23-year-old woman was hit in her thigh and a 43-year-old woman was shot in the foot, police said. All three victims were taken to nearby Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Shots were fired right around 5 p.m. after a reported dispute between a group of men, Shea explained. Nearby witnesses told police the men were arguing when one pulled out a gun and started shooting, striking the innocent bystanders.

Ok... So this fucking idiot is in an argument with 2-4 people, no one is saying how close, but I'm going to guess they were all within 20 feet of each other. He pulls out a gun and misses all the targets, and hits 3 unintended people?

Fuck sakes man, even with no gun training, I can hit 3-4 targets within 20 feet of me.

(I have had gun handling courses and range time)
