Dramatic video shows gunshots ring out in Times Square, sending tourists running for their lives

Several gunshots rang out during a dispute in the heart of Times Square on Thursday afternoon, sending panicked tourists and commuters scrambling for safety.

Wild video shows at least two people in black clothing open fire with what appears to be handguns as they step into the tourist-packed intersection.

Nobody was struck by the gunfire, but a bullet did hit a car when at least one gunman opened fire near West 44th Street and Seventh Avenue just after 3:30 p.m., cops and witnesses said.
