The shots were fired just before 10 p.m. on Mattlage Place, sending the 39-year-old victim to the hospital and a bullet through the wall.

Mattlage Place, which runs all of four blocks, and a few surrounding streets near the downtown commercial district have had several shootings in recent months, including one this past February -- near where the woman was wounded Thursday night -- and another last summer.
There have also been several drug arrests in the neighborhood.
Last August, police raided a Mattlage Place apartment where they said a couple with four children had crack and pot.
Three years ago, police arrested four people for torching a car behind a Mattlage Place home.
Thursday night’s victim was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center for treatment, Halstead said.
Meanwhile, police reached out to the public for help finding the shooter.
