Gunfire rang out at a residence near a city park early this morning as a gunman fired shots inside the house, striking at least one person inside.
Police responded to the 200 block of North 5th Street (near Branch Brook Park) shortly before 2:45 a.m. for reports of shots fired at that location.
Arriving units found one person reportedly suffering a gunshot wound to the leg. EMS transported the victim to University Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
A second victim at the scene suffered a foot injury but authorities do not believe it was due to gunfire.
The Newark Police Department are investigating this incident.
