The NYPD has identified the shoplifting suspect wanted for shooting a tourist and then shooting at a police officer Thursday evening as a teen from Colombia, police sources told ABC News.
Two of the three men were confronted in the lobby by a security guard who took back the stolen items, police said. The gunman and the other person fled on foot. As police gave chase the teen fired twice toward an officer, who drew his gun but did not return fire due to crowds.Authorities say that at some point during the chase, the shooter shot twice at the officer, missing both times. The officer drew his gun, but did not fire due to the number of people nearby.Authorities say the 15-year-old stayed behind to talk to police and was released.
