"NEW YORK – Police say two bystanders were wounded during a police shooting on a crowded street in midtown Manhattan.
It happened just before 10 p.m. Saturday at 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue near the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Police say officers saw a man on foot weaving erratically through traffic and sometimes blocking vehicles. After approaching him they say the man reached into his pocket as if grabbing a weapon, and two officers fired shots.
Police say they missed him, but a 54-year-old woman was struck in the knee, and a 35-year-old woman was grazed in the buttocks. Both were taken to a hospital, but police say neither had injuries considered life threatening.
Police say the man was subdued with a Taser and taken Bellevue Hospital.
No other information was immediately available."

(CNN) -- Police opened fire on an agitated man darting in front of cars in New York's Times Square, wounding two women instead.
The incident took place late Saturday night -- a time when the popular destination is bustling with tourists.
The women ages 54 and 35 were taken to a hospital. A bullet hit one on the right knee while the other one suffered a wound to her buttocks, police said.
After the two officers fired three shoots in an attempt to subdue the man, and missed, they struck him with a Taser, authorities said. He was later taken to the hospital as "an emotionally disturbed person."
So they fired live rounds in a crowd to "subdue" the man, and when that failed they fell back of the weapon of last resort - the taser?
Well, I'm sure those gals will retire in their early after their settlement. It could have been much worse for them, they are fortunate not to have been killed.
What do the cops carry, 9mm Glocks up yonder?

and some of the worst shots. They have racked up an impressive number of by-standers shot.
They see it as more of a "suggestion" than a guide.
