Newark Police officers and detectives set up a crime scene near the intersection of Keer Avenue and Leslie Street to investigate a shooting that reportedly injured a male on Monday evening.
Several reports that gunfire erupted at the University Hospital on Monday night were debunked by officials who swiftly reported that shortly after 9 p.m., a male victim entered the hospital's emergency room bleeding after suffering a gunshot wound.
Police checked the South Ward neighborhood where they confirmed a shooting had occurred after locating a vehicle with bullet holes but there were no confirmation if the victim was actually shot at the Keer Avenue crime scene.
The incident remains under investigation by Newark Police.
