Roselle Police are investigating a shooting incident that injured a male at a house party in the town Saturday night.

According to a preliminary investigation, officials at Trinitas Hospital alerted Elizabeth Police when an unidentified male entered the emergency room suffering bullet wounds. 

The victim told police that he was struck by gunfire near the park while he was in that area. 

Residents on Thompson Avenue told RLS Media that a teen house party was occurring when the -kids- started to engage in a physical confrontation. 

During the fight, gunfire rang out at the residence, according to residents. The victim is a senior at Linden High School (Roselle) and his condition has only been reported as serious at this time. 

Roselle Police taped off the area and searched for a crime scene and possibly other victims, but no other injuries were reported.
