Newly released video shows gunman firing weapon in Times Square
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Police released frightening new footage early Monday of the gunman who allegedly opened fire in Times Square — striking an innocent tourist in broad daylight.
The clip shows a man in a red and black top fire off at least two rounds on the sidewalk late Sunday afternoon — as people around him scurried out of his path.
Samuel Poulin, 21, a Marine, was hit in the upper back by a ricocheting bullet just after 5:15 p.m. Sunday outside the Marriott Hotel on West 45th Street and Broadway, according to sources and the NYPD.
A relative of the victim — who was visiting the Big Apple from upstate Northville for a baptism — pulled the slug out and gave it to police, according to the sources.

Poulin, who was with his wife, sister and brother-in-law when he was shot, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, cops said.
The suspect, who was still on the loose early Monday, fled east on 45th Street toward 6th Avenue.
The violence erupted amid a dispute between two groups — possibly CD peddlers, according to police sources.

The incident happened about a block from where gunman Farrakhan Muhammad, 31, allegedly opened fire at West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square — striking a 4-year-old girl and two women as he aimed for his brother.

In the middle of Times Square, no less!
Have open carry in Times Square and this will happen every day. Yippee !
No John, it takes a deranged POS to do this.
Let all law abiding citizens be easier targets for unlawful individuals ..... yippe-ky-yay ....
Who wants to take odds on if this weapon was legally owned?
Good question. I don't think you'll be getting many answers.
You never know, i might get a gun control dimbulb or two to take the bet.
I know that feeling. There's nothing better.
What feeling?
Never ask those who you suspect have none.
Someone was shot in America? I'm shocked!
You shouldn't be.
Be shocked if it was a legal gun owner.
Why? A legal gun owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Your logic is so irrational it's almost childlike in nature.
Do you say the same about other leading causes of death by potential weapons in the USA?
Vehicles? A legal car owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Knives? A legal Knive owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Baseball bats or other blunts object? A legal blunt object owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Hands, feet or head? A legal hand, foot or head owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Plastic bags that can cause asphyxiation. A legal bag owner is no more than someone who has yet to have committed a crime.
Etc, etc ....
So, it is your assumption that a legal gun owner will never commit a crime? OK, you run with that.
So it your assumption that all gun owners are criminals just waiting to commit a crime?
Sparty is being kind with his "childlike in nature".
What you are saying is akin to saying, "All Democrats and leftists are just violent individuals that are just waiting for the right place and time to take out their aggression on society". Which is as false as your statement.
Hardly and my comment is very clear and concise. Why do liberals and progressives insist on trying to put words in other peoples mouths.
Are you all really the dull?
Bazinga!
