His girlfriend drove the 26-year-old victim to Englewood Hospital and Medical Center from the Forest Park Garden Apartments off Grand Avenue shortly after 11:30 a.m., Lt. Fred Pulice said.
He was later transferred to Hackensack University Medical Center in stable condition, Pulice said.
The Bergen County Sheriff's Bureau of Criminal Identification was collecting evidence and the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office was notified.
Another report of shots fired came in less than an hour later, around 12:30 p.m., at Decatur and Coolidge Avenue just steps from westbound Route 4. It couldn't immediately be determined whether the shootings were related.
Police were seeking anyone who might have seen something or has information that could help determine who shot the apartment tenant on East Forest Avenue.
