A teenage\u00a0illegal immigrant\u00a0who shot a woman at a Times Square clothing store Thursday night before opening fire on\u00a0New York City\u00a0police officers was arrested Friday afternoon following a manhunt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe shooting incident last night in Times Square was way beyond reckless,\u201d NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban said. \u201cIn the middle of the busiest, mostly highly-trafficked part of the city, a criminal with a firearm decides to pull the trigger.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Caban, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figureoa, 15, was taken into custody around 3:30 p.m. by the U.S. Marshals Service in Yonkers, New York.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the teen was living in a temporary shelter after coming into the country from Venezuela in September and was staying at the Stratford Arms Hotel.<\/p>\n
Rivas-Figureoa entered a JD Sports store with two other teenagers in Times Square and\u00a0grabbed some clothes<\/a>\u00a0before attempting to leave.<\/p>\n When a security guard confronted the three teens, the suspect shot into a crowd, missing his target and hitting a 38-year-old woman visiting from Brazil.<\/p>\n The shooting came nearly two weeks after a group of illegal aliens attacked two NYPD officers also in Times Square.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
