Three victims in a gas station shooting all arrived at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center via private vehicle around 2 a.m., authorities said.
The three men – one 28 and another 25, from Paterson, and a 26-year-old Orange resident – were wounded at an Exxon station across from the Lowe's on southbound Route 20, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Deputy Paterson Police Chief Ibrahim Baycora said in a joint announcement.
All were in stable condition, they said.
They weren’t Paterson’s first gunshot victims, however.
A juvenile, a vehicle and a house were all struck by shotgun fire on East 25th Street near 14th Avenue shortly before 12:30 a.m., responders said. The juvenile apparently was grazed, they said.
Valdes and Baycora didn’t say whether any suspects were arrested or identified.
