The 25-year-old victim was rushed into surgery at Hackensack University Medical Center with injuries that weren't considered life-threatening following the shooting at 10 Center Street, near County Road, they said.
It appears he was followed home from a cash business, multiple sources said -- without specifying the type of business.
Neighbors said multiple calls had circled the block when the robbers hit the house. They were wearing fake FBI jackets, according to one unconfirmed report.
A neighbor dialed 911 and reported "multiple people on the scene with weapons," around 8 p.m., Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said.
Responding borough officers found the victim, who'd been shot more than once, the prosecutor added.
Police from surrounding towns joined their Cresskill colleagues in setting a perimeter as they searched for the getaway car -- a dark-colored SUV, responders said.
Meanwhile, investigators interviewed family members who were at the home where the shooting occurred and a group of teenage girls who were outside when it happened.
They also collected security video from neighbors and obtained a search warrant for the house itself.
Traffic was temporarily rerouted on New Street and a small part of Center Street.
Police from Dumont, Haworth and Tenafly were among the mutual aid responders. The Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification collected evidence.
Musella's detectives were investigating along with Cresskill police.
