The victim told police someone shot her in her car shortly before 10:30 p.m. in the heavily commercial area of Main Avenue near Burgess Place.
The victim, who was shot in the arm and chest, arrived in a privately-owned vehicle that apparently had been struck by gunfire, responders said. Her injuries weren't considered life-threatening, they said.
Police "located evidence of a crime scene" at Main and Burgess, Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia M. Valdes and Passaic Police Chief Luis A. Guzman said in a joint announcement Friday.
They asked that anyone with information that could help identify the shooter contact the prosecutor's tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or tips@passaiccountynj.org or the Passaic Police Department at (973) 365-3900.
