2 Killed, Several Hurt In Bloody Shootout Near Jersey City High School
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Two people are dead and several others are hurt after an overnight shooting in Jersey City.
It happened around 11 p.m. Friday in a quiet, residential neighborhood across the street from Lincoln High School, CBS2’s Christina Fan reported.
Neighbors said the scene near Crescent Avenue was so bloody, firefighters were called to spray down the sidewalk Saturday morning.
Jersey City Police and the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office are investigating the deadly shooting. They said several people were hit in the gunfire and two died from their injuries.
Residents told Fan police were on the scene and looking for evidence for hours. One man said he heard at least 16 shots fired outside his bedroom window.
While residents said it is a troubled neighborhood where crime has recently been on the rise, they never expected a shootout like this.
Details on the shooting were limited Saturday morning. Police did not immediately release any information on possible suspects or arrests.
