Newark

A male gunshot victim is being rushed to University Hospital for treatment after a gunman fired more than a dozen rounds in his direction in a section of Newark this evening. 

It happened around 6:17 p.m. in the vicinity of West 4th Avenue and North 9th Street. 

Residents in the community ducked for cover after the armed suspect repeatedly sprayed the area with bullets striking multiple cars, a house and the victim. 

Police taped off the area then found about 16 shell casings at the scene. 

The victim was shot in the leg and is expected to survive. 

There were no other injuries reported and the suspect fled the scene and remains at-large.
