The first two men – one, 20, from the city and the other a 22-year-old Wallingon resident – arrived at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center via private vehicle shortly before 6:30 p.m. Saturday, they said.
Both had been struck in a drive-by shooting on East 27th Street between Park and 17th avenues, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a joint announcement.
Police responded to another shooting shortly before 10 p.m.
This time, an 18-year-old city man was wounded as he sat in a car at the corner of East 19th and Cedar streets, Valdes and Baycora said.
He was taken to St. Joe’s.
Hospital personnel called police around 12:30 a.m. Sunday after a 24-year-old victim with a graze wound arrived at the hospital via private vehicle.
She’d been shot at the corner of Hopper and Halpine streets, authorities said.
