Use: Shot wounded while walking in New York

NEW YORK – He was walking with his family in Times Square when he was hit by a gunshot in the middle of the afternoon. The man, the American media reported, is hospitalized and his condition does not appear serious.

However, the incident fuels the debate on violence in New York and in the United States in general. Joe Biden has predicted a particularly violent summer: if crimes usually increase in the hot months, this year – said the president – violence could be greater than average.
