\u00a0<\/p>\n

An active and ongoing investigation is underway after a man was shot in Jersey City early Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Authorities say gunfire erupted around 1:30 a.m. in the vicinity of 117 Wade Street, near Martin Luther King Drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Responding officers arrived at the scene and located at least one shell casing in the roadway, prompting detectives to launch a shooting investigation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

A male victim was transported to Jersey City Medical Center after suffering a gunshot wound to his leg.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials say the injury is considered non-life-threatening, and the victim is expected to recover.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Investigators are also working to determine whether the shooting may be connected to a reported hit-and-run incident in the same area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this early stage of the investigation, police have not confirmed any direct link between the two incidents.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

No additional injuries have been reported.
\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident remains active as authorities continue to gather evidence and canvass the neighborhood for information.\u00a0<\/p>\n
