The migrant crime wave sweeping the city just took a new twist: gun-toting teen shoplifters .
A trio of teen migrants allegedly shot an innocent tourist and fired twice at NYPD officers giving chase following a botched Times Square shoplifting attempt Thursday night.
This comes on the heels of a migrant mob’s violent beat-down of two cops, also by Times Square.
A security guard at JD Sports stopped the group, grabbed a bag of stolen merchandise — then one pulled a gun and fired, hitting a Brazilian tourist instead.
If even the kids can get guns, cops now fear, we’ll soon see more armed migrant perps .

On Friday, NYPD and the US Marshals Fugitive Recovery Task Force took a 15-year-old Venezuelan migrant, Jesus Alejandro Rivas-Figueroa, into custody in Yonkers after he had been named as a person of interest in the Times Square shooting.
Police sources say he got here in September and has been staying at a temporary shelter at the Stratford Hotel on West 70th Street.
