A late night shooting in Jersey City sent scores of police and investigators to an "out of control" scene when dozens of people converged on the 100 block of Grant Ave. just around 11PM last night.
Residents in the area said while police struggled to gain control of the crowd and establish a crime scene, EMS were preparing to rush a man to the hospital who had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.
The man was taken to hospital where he was reportedly in "poor" condition.
Police gained control of the crowd a short time later, arresting two suspects at the scene according to residents.
An investigation is underway in the motive for the shooting.
