Around the same time, detectives responded to a Maitland Place home on a burglary call.

Authorities in Passaic made one arrest yesterday in yesterday morning’s shooting of a 19-year-old man on Third Street and had a warrant for a man believed to be the driver.

A Bergen County Regional SWAT Team joined the Garfield Emergency Services Unit, other city officers and NJ Transit police in searching for him in Garfield today, with negative results.
