Panic erupts in Times Square over shooting false alarmPanic erupted in Times Square late Tuesday night after a motorcycle backfired and caused fears of a possible active shooter. The NYPD said it received multiple 911 calls about the incident. There have been no reports of injuries. How loud was that backfire? Especially in NYC. I live in a quiet neighborhood & once in a blue moon a backfire is scary. Did the person on the ground in the teal shirt get ran over lol wtf Our country is on edge and rightfully so. Thankfully this was just a false alarm, but really shows insight into how we are feeling with all the mass shooting in the US. We are scared and need gun law reform now.
